I spent this afternoon visiting a friend and her husband, he has cancer and wanted to meet us. I've known this good friend since I came to live in Glasgow in 2001 and over the years we have all got close, life came between us all for a time and then in the last couple of years we all got back together. In all the years I've sung, chanted, meditated and ate and drank with my pal, I never exchanged more than a brief work with her hubby.
Now I realise how much I've missed! He's musical you see, been a professional musician all his life and I love singing, and music.
But this afternoon we had such fun, five of us sat in their sitting room, four of us around a hospital bed with him playing and singing along with us all!
Now that is how to live, all the way, music, laughter, song and chatter. So I set off this afternoon to visit a dying man and ended up having the greatest of times with a man who was living his music for as long as he could and that really is the way to live, each day at a time without a care for tomorrow, because there may not be many tomorrows left.
Is the glass half empty or is it half full.......his is certainly half full, cheers mate, here's to plenty more songs and lots more music.
