*************************************************************************


Those we love don't go away.
They walk beside us every day.
We see their smiles in memories
and feel their essence in the breeze.
We relive family scenes in dreams
and feel their touch~~or so it seems.
We cherish things they once held dear,
mementoes now. They bring us cheer.

Dear Janice, it is ike a quiet hand on the shoulder so tender, steady, and filled with grace. I feel that it carries the kind of truth that arrives softly in just how love, even in absence, lingers in the texture of everyday moments. Simply Beautiful. Summer Blessings, My Dear Janice, Daniel
