P has set up an ancestor shrine in the alcove in our living room - it's perfect for it. Next weekend I'm going to my parents to borrow pictures of some of my ancestors to scan and get in fromes to add to the shrine.

Two years ago this morning, my brother Tony left us for the Great Beyond. We all felt it was fitting that he went on All Hallows Eve.

Two years later, I sat in the new home of my sister-in-law as their almost-ten-year-old son played us a few tunes from his piano book (he is a highly-skilled beginner).....and my S.I.L. sat there smiling happily beside her new and wonderful husband. Tony's memory is kept very much alive in their house, and with loving respect.

Somewhere, I know Tony's spirit is smiling.

But oh do we miss him and his bear-hugs and ready laugh.

can't believe it's been two years.
