Extended video

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Hi Everyone,

There was a lot of interest in the video of our beautiful Mel. I received some lovely new footage (thanks Adriana) that I really enjoyed seeing, and I know that all of her friends and family would like to see it too. So I included it in the video and made it a bit longer. The new bits are near the end. It is worth downloading the video again to see it. It was filmed at the time I met her, and was quite poignant to watch.

Like before, I recommend right-clicking it and downloading it to watch without any jumping or sticking.

Funny, now that I include the new footage, the video is exactly as long as the backing track. Works nicely.

Time…

Time. They say it is the greatest healer, and it is true.

While I still love Mel as much as ever and always will, the savage pain from her passing is slowly evaporating. There are times when I miss her awfully, and a bit of that will always linger, that is natural.

But most often now, when I think of her, it is with a sense of gratitude and wonder, that this lovely woman came into my life and turned it upside down and helped me grow closer to the man that I want to be. I am honoured that I was able to support her, and help her on her path as she helped me on mine. That gift was a huge sacrifice, but now it is time for me to recover and continue living my life. There is no point in just existing, that is a waste of time on this planet.

And I can still feel the good effects of her love. Having someone so lovely affirm and accept completely who I was, was a gift to me that built me up and will always be with me.

So, I am starting to feel myself again, which is good news indeed. And starting to see life again for the adventure which it is, which is exactly what she would have wanted.
