This is incredibly beautiful, Dina. I can tangibly feel the love and respect that existed, and clearly continues to bloom, between you and your father. This piece, your words, is beautifully moving and so delicately reflective. “Wonderful Tonight” seems like a talisman to your father’s love and admiration for you. How lovely that is. I agree that music is so powerfully cathartic and connecting and healing. Some songs feel like bridges between worlds and realms. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, your reflections, your heart. Love, Erin Cookston
Dearest Erin, thank you for your generous and insightful words - you have a beautiful and natural way of articulating in ways that move me and reveal what I might otherwise not see on my own. The gift of giving and receiving. The gift of writing, sharing, and expressing with the intention of words and poetry to resonate in such a way with another, revealing wisdom and inspiration. Thank you for this thoughtful and kind reflection. Thank you for being here and for the sweet surprise of your comment and loving gesture :) Love, Dina
