Title: What a real black swan looks like!
Post by: ahremck on March 21, 2012, 02:57:48 AM

I commissioned Mark Eliott (Wild Ibis Glass) of Sydney to make me a Black Swan in memory of my wife, Meyance.  I think he has done a wonderful job and for all the bird lovers out there I am posting this item.

My thanks to all of you for your condolences.  Yes she was a wonderful wife and person.  Here intent was that I buy a nice paperweight or similar item for my birthday this year - when she knew she would not be able to get me a present due to her failing health.  In the long run I chose this because she was an Anglo-Indian lady and rather darker complexioned compared to me and the dignified way a swan swims seemed appropriate.

Dear Ross,  that is the most beautiful tribute to a woman I know you loved deeply.  I think Paul's wise words speak for all of us.
