Staircase

"A good friend is better than gold." By Poet Today I received the news, the news of your passing. A kind~loving and gentle man, with a big smile from ear to ear. It is hard to say goodbye, but we must. Your time here on earth is finished, now you can climb the staircase to heaven. A place where you can see your loved ones, a place without any pain. One day we will climb the staircase to heaven, and join you once again.

Congratulations on your win, Paula. I've always enjoyed the metaphor of a staircase to heaven. I believe Led Zeppelin had an album called "Stairway to Heaven" so many years ago. Best wishes, Brian
