Without getting maudlin -- I miss Sheila N. Mrochinski. She died in December, 2006 and she was the center of my life. She was not the only woman I have ever loved, but she was the truest, the finest, the most compassionate and forgiving.
There were other "chances" both before Sheila and after. Before She there was a whole range of women I knew and respected at Interlochen --- I was unready or unable to commit during that time, so lovers like Helen, or Kathryn, or Jeanne, or Pat "went away" and lived their own lives without me. Some other women flitted into my life during that time for a few moments: Peggy, and Carlene, and a few others -- they did not "stick." Kris, Kate, and even Tina were especially disappointing and enervating during that same time frame.
And all those women cycled through my life during the 9 years I was at Interlochen.
So many "chances" and so many choices; so many successes and so many failures.
