Be With Me

Corpse Bride last night was absolutely splendid. Completely Tim Burton and Johnny Depp in character, dark humour and the rest of it.
Be With Me, tonight, was different. A collage of 3 short stories, primarily inspired by Theresa Chan, a remarkable woman who lost sight and hearing at the age of 14, but who never lost faith in Hoping and Loving. What is it like to have God allow your eyes and ears to be robbed off you? It was like having a wall placed between me and the living. I could not see or hear the beauty around me... but I also could not see or hear the ugly things around me. What is it like to lose a spouse after decades of marriage? How does grandpa feel. What is it like to be tortured by the silence of a lover who has lost their love for you? To be pushed over the edge by desperation and loneliness.
Be With Me, my beloved, that my smile will not fade.
