For all I thought of Adele, I never had the pleasure to meet this wonderful woman ...... I will regret this perhaps forever.
It is now too late for me to give a hug to a wonderful person I met through this fabulous site.
Adele and I often had international phone-calls that lasted hours and hours .........almost longer than the bottles of booze we were consuming on either end of our telephone lines while solving all the worlds issues (nail, spiritual and political).
Adele and I kinda dove into a relationship that neither of us were prepared for (we discovered we were kindred spirits) ...... and I'm not talking vodka (although we had that in common also).
During our discussions, I would throw her on to the phone to my best friend while I had a toilet break and her husband Paul joined in the hilarity also.
She taught me a phrase I had never heard before .... LAUGH LIKE A DRAIN.
This tickled me to no end ...... if anyone could laugh like a drain it was Adele.
If I could ever sum someone up in one word, Adele was "GENEROUS"....
she was generous in spirit (not just vodka)
generous of heart
generous in thought
generous in time
generous in sharing
generous in understanding
Many may not know, Adele offered to finance my trip to "the event", although I appreciated and was flabbergasted by this offer...., it was not financial, it was "time" relevant (so difficult for me to get out of the salon). She wanted to meet me so much, as well as meeting all of you too ....
Adele took me for what I was, saw through my inner bitch and embraced me for what I am from afar, never judging, just there with an open ear when things often tumbled in on top of me.
We shared so much in our odd time of the day calls to each other.
Adele would not want us to grieve .... I'm gonna wait a while to "talk" to Adele, so many people will be wanting to "talk" to her now, I wanna let her hear me loud and clear when things have quietened down .... that's gonna be my way of dealing with things .... anything else, less or more breaks my heart.
I can now only dream of having that drink with Geeg and Adele with a view in Spain.
For now, perhaps I/we should just enjoy the memories and this is one of my favourites ........... click on the link below and enjoy, embrace and celebrate the wonderful ...... "LADY ADELE".
