We all suffered a great loss... This poem tells how He will always be with me (Inside) So many sweet memories...

That is what life is about, Rick, those memories, and keeping them alive within us ... some people avoid thinking of lost loved ones because of the pain it causes, but those memories keep them ALIVE, and the pain is just the reminder of how dear they were and are and will always be ... I say embrace it all, for that's our true TREASURE! Wonderful write, my friend ... gorgeous and so touching! Blessings! :-)

Congratulations on your win in my contest, Rick! Those first few lines! And then a crisp long line, like memories, hanging over your brief sentiments. I know you have much emotion about your friend's death. It is hard to write about. <3
