[Magdalen] Prayers, for me, and Dawn

[Jon Egger]

Sadly, any photos I have are few.  Plaintiff took them ALL when she left.

All my Dylan stuff is just stuff.  I don't need to take it with me; I have
all his music on my iTunes, which I play off my computer.

Plaintiff and I should have sold this house when we split, but we chose not
to.  Much of my motive in moving is to get rid of stuff that has anything
to do with plaintiff.

I find my peace in all of this.  I can see the monthly declines and I know
that, like most of us, we won't be remembered 20 years after our deaths.

+++
Grace & peace,
jon
