I had a dream in January of 2021 –

I sometimes have dreams of people in the Spirit World .. one last night was of Bruce .. in COVID and in illness he had been confined (an extended lock down) Fortunately his daughter visited him once a week over many many years and was with him in his final days) before passing and so the dream was of FREEDOM he now gained finally. He was in an artist’s loft and painting . There were many people around who were kindred souls. He was painting large canvases that represented the WIND. I felt connected as also painted an element – water. In the new place he was now in .. he was able to flow and he was able to RUN AND GO WHERE HE PLEASED . He felt his FREEDOM AND HAPPINESS.. he was FREE AS THE WIND.

In my children’s story I had asked friends what they would like to be .. Bruce became a wiz walrus who solved many number problems and also a wise owl who was white.. we sometimes dressed up as these characters. . In the story he says .. “Who, who, who, – I am , am I ? You are not UH- WHOO you think you are!

Free as the Wind and Flying as a White Owl. I think many of us can feel certain things that give us that freedom when we also have felt this time of not being able to do what we want. May we ALSO CONTINUE to be FREE IN OUR HEARTS.

Our love goes to Bruce .. your OWL WISDOM lives on. ..

I am so happy to of had this dream and now see you are now somewhere where you can be HAPPY AND FREE AGAIN.

You were as young as the photo below in the dream.

This takes us now to the first week of October 2023 as we have been in Spain. We have come to do a Life Ceremony for Bruce with Lauren his daughter and golden memories in a place he loved – Torremolinos Spain.

We booked a place called Jazmines and it happened to exist when we first men Bruce in 1970/1971 in Spain.

Dale and I lived in Spain in 1970/1971 and there Dale met Bruce and Tom Williams, Bob Richarson and George Boddington. They were on a Hemingway journey travelling thru Spain to reenact various stories and dramas they created in their imaginations. They met at Harry’s bar and just mainly had a lot of laughs and fun. Bruce went on with various friends to Morocco and we met at the medina. Bruce became a close friend and Dale became one of Uhers at his wedding. The friendship has lasted 52 years. In celebrating Bruce’s life it seemed appropriate to choose this wonderful and casual place called Torremolinas.

We set up a Medicine Mandala (Peruvian Style) overlooking the Playa Bajondillo Beach on the Mediterranean Sea. Lauren had brought various momentos and photos of her dad. My friend Marian gave us some owl statues to place on the Medicine Wheel. We brought in the Four directions and focused on Gratitude, Good and Kind friends, Peace and Creativity. The cool and wonderful man who we all felt so luck to meet felt present.

In my dream just a couple of month after Bruce passed Creativity and Freedom were the most important thing for him and to feel Free as the Wind. We did creative trip to the Pablo Piccaso Museum in Malaga to honor this desire. What a symbol of creativity Pablo is even today. May a little of his creativity rub off on all of us.

We had a toast to Bruce at the Museum while talking to our friend Sal in British Columbia . We later had a amazing dinner by the Beach in Celebration.

Golden memories in Spain of our dear special friend Bruce McCarthy and to be with his daughter Lauren what a treat for us! Here’s to life and life after life! Love to Bruce! Love to Lauren!

Love to all!

To take care always!– Della and Dale
