An Honor,

What a crazy set of circles today has become. My friend shared a memory from his timeline at the same time as one of mine popped up on my timeline.
I do not know how many couples are as blessed as Jeff and Diane to have shared an incredible life of love and support, but they did. As a born Romantic, I am a fan of love, no matter who it comes to and in all forms.
Diane was taken from this world six years ago, by cancer. As an artist, I knew Diane, I did not know she was sick. I was just an admirer of her work and we had contact over art. When Diane passed Jeff was kind enough to contact me and let me know. I had been there for many through similar times, so there were a lot of late night talks.
Then he posted the picture and story behind an album he was releasing. A college project, back in the days of being two young students, up late and falling in love.
As a glass artist, I saw a perfect piece. I talked to Jeff and away we went. I began working on it and we exchanged info and ideas and apparently a year to the day.....I posted the finished piece.
So today Facebook reminded us...yesterday was Diane's Birthday. Such a big circle of events.
I had never before done anyone elses work in glass, and I most likely never will again. It was a great honor though to bring to life such a precious moment in time, when perhaps it was greatly needed. What an absolute honor.
Jeff is away in France with his partners and associates, They are making beautiful music and memories. What a fitting way to celebrate such a talented artist.
on the You, there is a piece called Watercolors, with Jeff's music and some of Dianes art. if you care to see more.

I don't believe two such people with such a great love and life ever truly part.

Thank you. The project meant a lot to me, from the second he posted Meridia, I knew the glass piece had to be.

True Love.. much like a kindred spirit are rare occurrences.......... Your glass captured and delivered that essence by divine intervention.

Very true. Love is so rare or true companionship, it is a thing to celebrate!

It is funny, Diane was in an art group, there was no sharing of family and friends, just an art focus. Another artist in the group was Chris Morton, he is up by Owen's Sound, his art is beyond amazing.
I woke this morning to a recording of Jeff singing, Singing in the Rain....It sounded like Yogi Bear was singing.....now I know why in all the times we spent on things, I never heard him sing
