The Music is Back

My husband died March 31, 2010.  It's also the day the music died for me.  He was a great music fan, listening for hours. But after he died, I just couldn't listen anymore.  I've had months of news radio.  Last week I decided to do something about it.  I went on a music diet. 
Everyday for two weeks, I listened to a little music.  Sometimes only one song.  Sometimes two.  And then I'd feel so low, I couldn't listen anymore.  He wasn't here to enjoy it with me, so what was the point.  Back to news radio.
But yesterday, I made a turning point and listened to my favorite artist for two hours.  Today, I've listened for 4 hours so my music is definetly back. 
Time is short and music should be a part of it.  Today, I read that one of the artist I was listening to  had passed away.  She was a favorite, going back to my teen years, back to the day when I would scan the dial, looking for  her latest album.  I still do.  I did so today, but alas, her last album has been recorded.
