THE QUEEN MUSES

Ever wonder what happened to.......?  It seems that people move in and out of our lives.  Sometimes we understand -- they move away and you just loose touch.  Or maybe you wake up one day and realise you miss them.  You may not even know where they are if you wanted to reconnect.

We have experienced this and sometimes mourn.  (Admittedly, sometimes not,)  An example:  Before queendom We decided to 'go back to school'.  During that time four of us got together that were of a similar age and circumstance, studying the same thing.  We saw each other frequently off campus and I thought each of us felt the bond would last.  And it did, for many years and thru many life changes for each of us.

But then one day one drifted away and we heard less and less from her.  An occasional Christmas card from a neighboring country.  And then ----- nothing.  Then another moved out of my life, although to this day I keep track of her through Willow, who was the third member of the group.  And, if you will remember, still around and in my Court of Advisers.

To demonstrate my point, although I wasn't really close to the first one, the others were.  I was very close (so I thought) to the second and am still puzzled and more than a little sad she is no longer in my life.  I cannot conceive of my life without Willow.  Although it's been a long time since we've lived within driving- over-for-tea distance, we maintain a very close friendship that I cherish.

So We muse:  Where are they now?
