Despite doing all the things that normally keep me buoyant/happy/active ie. concert ( including a whole singalongasoundofmusic section ), walking, cooking, dining and Scrabbling with friends , I had an energy -sump yesterday . I just couldn’t get those spirits lifted . So instead of trying to self-motivate , I went with it and took Michael Hann’s advice and watched BBC 4’s ‘Roy Orbison:Love Hurts’ documentary .
It was so unbelievably tragic . I so wanted to reach out and hug his third son ,Wesley , I forgot about my pain , sadness and bloody lethargy ( not to mention the headache that sadness induces ) and thought about the Orbison Family , Nim’s Family ,The Kurdi Family ,The Pearson Family plus plus plus .
Talking about the sudden death of someone very close you ,Alex Orbison said ”they say that time makes it better .But you know that’s one of the biggest lies .It’s just that … time stops” ”It’s not like you think of it all day , everyday, but it’s there and when you visit it , it’s just as fresh as it was ”
So succinctly put Alex Orbison….that’s it! ……’time stops……it’s just as fresh as it was’ Love to you all from us both…..and The Dot!
Love to you three… and Dec , if you get a chance ,watch it .
On a lighter note – was he wearing a toupe ?
