| Bee's sister Jannie died at 12:20 this afternoon. For those who visit this site and don't know, Jannie has been dying for over seven years of a degenerative brain illness, and though she was only 63 years old, her death has finally released her from a prison that none of us could ever possibly comprehend. It is with a strange mixture of grief and relief that we mourn her passing; at least now Jannie is free of the dreadful illness that has consumed her, and those closest to her, for so many years. All my love and thoughts are now with Bee, Hillary, Justin and Jake. Though I'm struck with my own sadness by the final chapter in the loss of my wonderful aunt (and teacher many years ago), it pales in comparison to how you must be feeling, and I wish you all strength and love and hope that you are all holding up okay.
Jannie was a fiery intellect and socialist in her day, a university teacher and lover of poetry, philosophy, politics and literature. Bee has told me that Jannie introduced her to W.B. Yeat's poetry when they were teenagers, when Jannie was helping guide Bee through her A-levels. The poem by Yeats below was one of Jannie's favorite and also one of Anno's. I hope that the two of you are reading it together in whatever misty land awaits us all when we shed this cruel planet.
An Irish Airman Foresees His Death
I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.
W.B. Yeats |

| Hope you boys are preparing a fitting welcome for lovely Jannie who is on her way to you - but oh so slowly... Take care of her for me, dearest Anno. I know how much you loved her and now I am entrusting her to your tender care. xxx |

| We should love to set up a page for Lee - and Alberto too - but we don't have any additional material. If their friends or families have any photos, drawings, memories - whatever - we'd be more than happy to create the pages and upload the stuff. |

| Was watching the video clip of the first time he fell...the one where it looks like he's dreaming with a cigerette. Dude, i'd sell my soul for WARM BUTTER to have captured that through the lens. But how exciting to feel in the air expressed like equations through his words. Pondering Anno's many loves, known and unknown, especially the music...wondering about Lee's and Alberto's own journeys too. Hmm...it's sad and great, so I can only imagine the pain and bliss in their nearest and dearest.
anyway, i think i speak for others to say that you made this heart very happy, sweet Bee. And certainly Anno's- yes, and Alberto, Lee, and Billy. KjD does "seize the instant quickly for what lies within - infinity." Such a good and great love as yours is what i celebrated yesterday. Endless kicks and joy and darkness to you, and, of course... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx's |

| Felt rather blue all day yesterday - thinking of Anno and the loves of his life and then came on to the site and am ashamed of my maudlin attitude. HAPPY ASTRAL VALENTINE NIGHT to all of you boys - destined to stay forever loved and glorious in our hearts. xxx
