Thank you, she has been gone 8 years now and I still don't know how I manage to
get through each day without her.
We have, I think, much in common. My wife and I were simple counter culture type people that liked organic food, peaceful thoughts and dreams of a world that would someday exist where money and power were not sought after so much as love and peace which would be plentiful.
The thing is, if she didn't get sick we would now be on a small plot of land living simply and as independently as possible. The very plan you and your wife made a reality for yourselves. We had already begun research looking for a place with a good growing climate and plentiful clean water where we could settle down.
Perhaps in another life my sunshine and I will be reunited and living in such a place, and again dreaming of peace, love and a world where all are equal, happy and well fed. We always felt that if enough people dreamed of such a world it would eventually grow into being by mutual consent and cooperative work.
I guess I am just one of those dirty freaky hippy people after all.
