in 2015 this is what I wrote under this poem: wow, this one is FANTASTIC. short but so profound. I feel the same way about it now. did I ever fave it? Let me see. If not, I will fave it because of the three, even though your number one is precious, I am most drawn to this short but profound poetry

B.W. as you probably know I am glowing over the compliments but it I'm a shame it was brought on over a death. In this household I make very sure everyone that walks into my home that means something to me know I love them with all my heart and they mean the world to me. Like you I have lost too many family and friends. Hugs Eve

A sincere message which is more often forgotten. Cannot be a more timely reminder. A 7. Hope you're keeping well, Eve. :-)

Thank you, Kim, yes a reminder that needs to be imposed all the time. A relative of 24 just passed and my nience made a comment of " I think I've heard "I love you" about 300 times throughout this house today. Through tragedy, we are reminded about what really matters.. family and love.'" This is a family that is always yelling at each other and It reminded me of how they do need it in their lives not when some one passes. Thank you for your compliment and the 7 Hugs Eve
