It is six years today…
That my beloved Frans went away.

But…only his body went away –
His spirit is here to stay.

It does not sound sensible
But he is no longer visible.

It might sound weird,
But his spirit has not disappeared.

Today I toast
To my ever present living loving ghost,

Who has remained at my side
Since his “body” died.

His spirit stayed here
And remains near.

And by believing this…
I still experience pure bliss.

My life did not shatter…
He taught me…to exercise “mind over matter”.
