I know it must have been very difficult for you to relive Barry's passing, but the thoughts you shared with Josh on his blog were profound.<br /><br />I had no idea about Gabriel's Oboe. Although I felt it to perfectly represent what I wanted to say, I would have chosen something else had I known. <br /><br />Much love and gratitude to you tonight, Linda.<br />Thank you. ♥<br />xoxoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937847762010497687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891179949997003543.post-47264095135035856632011-02-27T18:06:13.215-06:002011-02-27T18:06:13.215-06:00I visited Josh and left him a message.

Just humming it makes me cry. Thank you for sharing this. I left Barry's blog contact for Josh, not to depress him but because there may be something inspirational there for him. Joshua's strength is incredible and inspirational. xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241402645242821612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891179949997003543.post-38876624098304426552011-02-27T16:37:16.149-06:002011-02-27T16:37:16.149-06:00Oh, Vicki, thank you so much.

The oboe and cello serenade was very powerful. We should each breathe it in and breathe it out toward Josh. Maybe we won't see the improvement, but there will certainly be much.<br /><br />Thank you for your timely reminder about our wrapper. My skin vibrates with my connection to Josh. He smiles with our meager thoughts of concern. So lofty is his being in his outer body.
