Whenever I speak to my lost loved ones, I feel them listening. Just listening, not answering back, if they did, we would never stop talking to them and forget to live our own lives. What we've lost will be found again, our reward for a life well lived. That's what I believe anyway. Hope this doesn’t come off as preachy or anything, rather, I just hope this helps. I really regret I won't be able to see Don Cluade, as my student benefits wont stretch to a ticket to Australia! If it runs plays it's inital run(Which I'm sure it will) consider it part of my bucket list to see your musical :). | |
