I asked my good friend, a brilliant pianist, to play something beautiful for C's funeral. I secretly hoped she would play Satie's Gymnopédies No. 1.
I'm glad she didn't.

In January of 2005, my son C. died. Then he was born. These are the 8 million pieces of my life, as I pick them up,one by one.
And now, featuring the addition of our second beautiful child, BB and his lovely sister E.

This is so very beautiful.
Can i ask you, what *did* she play?
It's a beautiful piece of music - I find it peaceful rather than sad. It makes me think of circular ripples on water. Why are you glad she didn't play it?
Rosepetal - I am glad she didn't play it because it would have tainted it for me. And I really love it.
Kate - I have no idea. I know it was an arrangement she wrote of an old Mennonite hymn. I don't want to know the title. I don't want to have any piece of beautiful music associated with C's funeral.
