We are so glad that you shared this moving and beautifully crafted slideshow with us. It was a pleasure to come to know you and Brian on our Viking cruise together. This gives us a glimpse of of the full and remarkable life you had together. What memories!
You and Brian remind me of the lines from my favorite poem, Tennyson's "Ulysses":
"I cannot rest from travel: I will drink/
Life to the lees:..." and "I am become a name;
For always roaming with a hungry heart/
Much have I seen and known; cities of men/
And manners, climates, councils, governments,/
Myself not least, but honour'd of them all..."
Thank you again for sharing this. Although Joe and I knew Brian only for a few days, we will always remember.
