Ten Year Anniversary


Ten years ago Michelle wrote:

          An avid nature lover,
          always game for a trip
          or a good time with family or friends,
          AndrĂ© embraced live unconditionally.

April 13, 2002, during an early morning walk with Moka, stilled stunned and numb by AndrĂ©'s death, a "V" of snow geese flew low overhead. We interpreted their loud, cheerful honking as a message from our son. The next day more migrating geese appeared as we left La Souvenance with Louise and Claude.

Every year since Paulette and I head to Cap-Tourmente and mingle with the flocks. This time Louise and Press joined us. Without fail we are comforted by the presence of the geese and feel a closeness to our son.
