OT - Slightly odd request

by **Arianddu** » Mon May 11, 2009 10:27 am

I'm having to sort out my mother's funeral for later this week; one of her favourite pieces of music was Albinoni's Adagio in G minor for strings and organ, but I cannot find my copy of it anywhere. Does anyone have a copy they can download and send me? Not a MR piece, certainly, but I'm hoping at least one of you is as ecclectic in your musical tastes as my family and can help.

Thanks,
Ari

PS - to everyone who's been enquiring after Mamma in the last few months, thank you for your care and support. Her end was quick, peaceful and mercifully pain-free, and I was able to be with her.

I'm terribly sorry to hear that you have lost your mother, Ari.

None of us is ever ready for our parents to go, no matter what the circumstances.

Ari - Sorry for your loss.....

by **Rip Rokken** » Mon May 11, 2009 10:41 am

Hey, Ari - very sorry for your loss, and wish you much peace. Take care.

Ari, I'm very sorry to hear about your mother's passing. God Bless!

by **DSHinMICH** » Mon May 11, 2009 10:46 am

Sorry for your loss Ari! Thoughts and prayers to you and family!

by **Arianddu** » Mon May 11, 2009 10:50 am

Rick - I owe you - beautiful version, thank you.
Everyone else - thanks for the care and kind words. It's going to be a long week, and this place is always good when I've needed some distraction in the last few months. Her greatest fear was that her end would be long, drawn out and full of pain; as far as death goes, she had the kindest, most peaceful imaginable. I miss her like hell, but I feel blessed that we had time to settle everything, make sure we said everything that needs to be said, were sure of our love for each other, and said goodbye with love and no regrets for things unfinished, unsaid or undone. Few people have that opportunity or that peace of mind.

I'm sure you know that to have that time was a gift to you. Cry... even scream at the moon in a rage if you have to when you hurt from missing her physical presence... laugh and smile at the sun when you feel the joy of remembering her warmth. Always know that she can never fully leave you at all...you are a part of her and she will always be a part of you...you will carry her within you always in your heart and mind so look for her there whenever you need her. God bless, Ari.

...and no matter how old we are... :cry:

Nothing makes you feel more like a small scared child than losing a parent.

I'm really really sorry to hear this, Ari. I'll be thinking of you.

sorry for your loss ari.our condolences to you.

by **SusieP** » Tue May 12, 2009 1:31 am

Sending you my love too. I didn't know your Mum was ill or that she had passed away.
I know you miss her like hell but you were able to tell her you loved her and say goodbye. That may not mean much just now, but in time, believe me it will comfort you a lot.
My Mum died suddenly and had not been ill. It still hurts that I never got to say goodbye.
Treasure those moments you had together to show each other your love.

Love and hugs.

I am sorry I cannot help you with the music, but here are three words my dying mother used to say to me when I got sad...COURAGE, STRENGTH, FAITH.

"Keep them in your heart and you will see them in your dreams," is what I always tell myself.

Breathe, my dear. L

by **Granny** » Tue May 12, 2009 2:02 am

Ari, so sorry for your loss...In years to come you will be happy that you were with her at the end and knowing she is now at peace.
If you need us, just come here and cry, we will give you our shoulders to lean on.
