They certainly do my friend, and at times the news is shocking. This is right on point. Some remembrances we will never forget. Great job! ~Joseph

Oh dear, I too know well of which you write...those regrets sure do burn brightly as you say...terrible that whioch goes unsaid when all are well...leaving things to the last is, well, human nature at its worst, and I'm guilty of it in my past as well. Darn...so sad, and so well weritten, love Kristin

Brian, so sorry for your loss. This excellent write speaks volumes to me. I have been working on a poem forever on this very subject. Not sure I will ever be happy with it. You truly wrote my mind, and heart. Love, Shar
