Grief Quotes - VeeroesQuotes

"The loss is unmeasurable but so is the love left behind." Quote_ Unknown I keep my memories, in an old chest, there are pictures, albums and precious things. Sometimes, I open that old chest with tears so meaningful, and fading, dusty, aged. For I must not forget, that I grieve them, a family I loved with all my heart.

Dear Constance, your poems are always soul touching and so sincerely moving, this truly hits deep for me as i read about grief and memories and how you keep them close to your heart. I especially loved the line “ there are pictures, albums and precious things. Sometimes, I open that old chest with tears“ so poignant and powerful how emotions can be conveyed through words. Love the quote too. Pleasure reading this, congratulations on your well deserved win

Your "I Keep" is a sad yet wonderful write/picture with a great ending. There are no words for the quote. I always enjoy reading your writes. Wish I could hug you... Have a wonderful/blessed day writing away..........
