((Koala)), such an insightful thought you've shared with us! Also heart-warming! Thank you!

It's a very tough night for me. It is the anniversary of the tragic death of one of my siblings. We were great friends and had talked in the phone every day, at least once each day! (This is on the days we did not spend time together in person.)

As I'd stood by the bedside where my dear friend/sibling was dying several years ago now, the July 3rd fireworks were "sounding off," "booming" throughout the city. My heart so incredibly saddened, so incredibly crushed.

As I write this now, the July 3 fireworks are "booming" throughout the same city. I miss you terribly, dear friend/sibling!

Yet, I often continue to hear your very distinctive bell!
My heart sings, because the sound of your bell reassures me you are well and we remain forever connected!

Healing hugs to all!
