I wonder what Rae would have thought about this collection of love songs I wrote to her following her untimely passing.  Would she be flattered or embarrassed?  Are the songs too soppy; too personal?  

In the end one thing is clear to me: it would have been better to have written the songs and shared them with her while she was still alive.  Lesson learned - won’t make that mistake again…

And what of Rae, that incredible spirit, that amazing soul?  Among other things I believe that;

​She sparkles like the stars
On the canvas of night
Across these great plains….
