JK in Italia

Janet is back in Italy, this time for over a month. She’s working as a stitcher for what I think is an opera company of either relatively young or student musicians. Could have that wrong. I wonder when it will stop seeming strange that this person I lived with for 17 years is completely and irretrievably gone.

Reading the occasional blogspot entry she posts about her travels reminds me of what it was like the first time (pre-breakup) I realized that she was being pulled across the ocean by mysterious forces. It seemed religious at the time, but now … I don’t know. Maybe she’d met somebody. I ever so dimly suspected it and probably just suppressed the suspicion, but at this distance … It’s all good somehow. Strange.
