TO YOU SWEETHEART, ALOHA

     Click the above link for a recording of an emotional "Adieu."
It is quite a feeling to be on "YouTube" memorializing a very emotional moment.  Our Isabel, the "Voice from the Kitchen" saying a very poetic "Good Bye" to our colleagues who had assembled for the First International Gathering of La Salette Laity in France last September 1 - 10.  The smile is missing because of the deep emotion that was filling her heart and soul.  You read some of my reflections concerning the type of people who attended this Gathering in yesterday's post.  Today, we received this recording from the colleague who sat next to me during the entire proceedings.  This is a still photo of her during a performance a week earlier.
The sound is not too clear, so here are the lyrics for your pleasure:

To you, sweetheart, Aloha,
Aloha, from the bottom of my heart,
Keep the smile on your lips,
Brush the tear from your eye,
One more Aloha, then it's time for goodbye,
To you, sweetheart, Aloha 
In dreams I'll be with you, dear, tonight,
and I'll pray for that day 
When we two will meet again,
Until then, sweetheart, Aloha


Great thanks to our colleague and friend, Pierre Zaessinger
