The Mailbox (Eap.)

Once again...I open up my mailbox...and peek inside. In the mailbox, I look with hopeful expectation By the possibility of a greeting or a salutation.... With the realization and disappointing frustration Of the discovery, there are only bills,... junk mail,..and annoying solicitations!!

In the winner's circle, I am sure. Good luck. Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my eap about Big Daddy. He was the first of our closest relatives to go. I felt a good deal of grief and the visitation was like I am better. I knew that he believed and I believed he was in a better place but it was like an assurance from him that it was fine with him for he was free from pain. Sara/ I hate getting all those file 13 items in the mail.
