! A Thankyou To Margaret

Some thankyous are best private; some deserve a public airing, in case they touch someone else who's suffered: I wrote a poem about my mother's restless, painful death; and you, who had just lost your husband but whose deathbed was a memorable day as he with cancer and you his wife had the most beautiful, memorable hours of conversation, about two rich lives lived together - you, struck by the contrast, wrote to me in sympathy. And so, my pain is eased in sharing in your beautiful sad joy.. and you, I hope, may be the happier for this - I wonder, do you know what good this brought? thank you, Margaret.
