Still, your eyes speak of love held tenderly,
glowing down upon the hearts of three.
I now write of you both, of this, and how
I would know the beauty of your face
no not here, not now, but in another time and place

and I would remember your voice, the sound,
and oh yes, surely that grin
when time has come and gone
we would begin again

but until then

I shall hold you both
so tenderly
in my heart and soul
within every part of me

I can see you there
holding hands in wait
Mom, I'll finally meet you there
and Dad, I'll see you again

at heaven's gate.

{Karilea, my sisters and I can not
thank you enough, for this precious
gifting....

M~ thank you. Until Karilea did this picture for me, (combined the two pictures into one) I had never seen a pic of them together before. I shared the photo with my sisters. We are all so very touched to have this.

I know this feeling.  Over the past year or
so,  we have come across a moderate stash of
family pictures that go back about 50 to 60
years in time.  Such memories...  you are
blessed.

Donna...When I started reading this, I heard Karilea in the back ground clapping and you taking a bow, and then you switched places. Such a dear memory does that.

Gentle Spirit, this is wonderful and I feel very happy for you and your sisters, it is great having good friends, they lessen the burdens of life and make special moments smile. Looked like a lovely couple and your mum has a wonderful smile.
