August Acrostic Sponored By Andrea Dietrich

Written 8/6/2023

August a month of birthdays and death. Upon the death of my soulmate's breath. Gifts of love, a grandson's birthday. Use of time together summer play. Stillness, unending time of fill strife. Trials which are to come in my life.

H Eve my good friend, one soul was leaving earth soon, The Greek Orthodox faith believes that a soul will be around in your space for 6 weeks, until he/she moves on. and as that soul goes up a new soul and spirit is awaiting to be delivered to Planet Earth. Sad but true one day not for a long while however, because your grandson loves and needs, you, but you will meet your soulmate again and will meet up him. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Thank you, my Adam's birthday is on the 17, brother in-laws this Saturday his X this Saturday plus so many more, and Roper's anniversary 5 years this 29. So, some happy day, some sad and end of summer vacation for the kids. My grandgirl's senior year in high school and off to college .
