You and I
You have been gone a very long time...
You were one of the best people I ever met...
You gave my mother joy and happiness...
You transformed her into a more vibrant woman...
You taught me about responsibility and loyalty...
You introduced me to things I never thought of...
You gave me guidance when I needed it most...
You are so sorely missed and thought of every day...
I wish you had lived to meet my children...
I pass along to them every day what you've taught me...
I still see my mother's transformation and it brings me joy...
I find myself seeing you in so many faces...
I am a better person for having known you...
I know you live on in those you touched over the years...
I yearn to hear your gentle voice and instruction...
I miss you every day and am comforted having had known you.
(Dedicated to one of the best men I ever had the privilege to meet - William Larson)
