Your beautiful spirit must have been a joyful comfort to your Mother, always, no matter the circumstances. I am so sorry for your loss. Life, here, is so bittersweet. Sometimes, it seems losing people and things is our constant, and then we cross the path of a Mystic, maybe our own inner Mystic, if we are fortunate. I am so thankful for your time in Houston. I only hope you received “hazard” pay. Thank you for the beautiful photos, poetry, words, all a tribute to the constant of Creation, which of course includes your Mother and our “Jimmy”. So relieved you will not forget us and will stay in touch. Peace and blessings on you and your beautiful family, tonight.
Beautifully said Gary. I saw Jimmy Buffett for the first time in 1975, he was such a part of my senior year in high school and college days-I spent a lot of time on the gulf coast being from Montgomery, Alabama. He words still ring true for me the older I get. His death was a shock to my system. Life can be bittersweet but when we rest and return as your Mother did to the coast we can be restored. Peace be with you and Cherry.
What a lovely post, Gary. Jimmy Buffet’s death has been a blow to many. Andy and I were at the Greensboro Grasshoppers’ game last night, and all the pregame music played was Buffet’s. So sorry about your mom--what a beautiful lady!
Loved this! Come on over to Alexandria - we’ve got quite a few Houstonian friends at VTS.

I love that you are a naturalized Texan now. Your time here was to short but the effects are lasting forever in our hearts.
Thanks for sharing that, Gary. Beautiful...

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother, Gary. What a beautiful tribute. I, too, come more alive at the ocean.
Welcome back to Virginia!
