Endless Memories
By Larry Chadwick
In memory of Ginger Michelle

How tangible is love once that you are gone?
Can I touch it even when I can’t touch you?
Is there a way to make it more than just a memory?
If only there was something that I could do.

You were on my mind as I looked into my hands,
That circle of love that will never end was there.
I knew immediately there was something I could do,
That you had something that you would want to share.

My fingers roam your endless circle,
That is on the necklace which I wear.
A way for me to touch our love,
And the memories that we always shared.

March 18, 2003

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Larry, this is beautiful, sweet friend, I continue to send angel comfort hugs and my prayers your way but know your Ginger will always love you and you can feel her from more than just the necklace but through the light and the whispers of the spring breeze where she is sending her hugs your way! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Larry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Noah,
Silly me...it's her ring on the necklace. And thank you for your kindness.

Your love for her has no beginning and no end..
just as her ring is a complete circle.
Ginger Michelle will always be remembered Larry.

i think Ruth said what i wanted to say...you are doing something with your memories...you are penning them down into exquisite prose pieces so that you can sow the seeds of her legacy to a wider audience, to readers like me

keep writing, i'll keep reading

Not a dry eye in the house, Larry. A touching reminiscence, with a man's way of feeling the unfeelable. Thank you just for having the strength to share it.

Can I touch it even when I can’t touch you?

Yes. You can touch that much, because it is within you.

Larry-
This is a beautiful write. It touches so deeply. You are so lucky to have raised her. I am very thankful that I was able to have her as a teacher. She never stops teaching.

I love you all!!

Larry...What a beautiful and loving tribute to a daughter whom you miss. Love is indeed a never-ending circle. Though your daughter may not physically be with you here on this Earth, she is with you in deepest part of your soul and the heart of your being. The love between father and daughter is a miraculous thing. This is a truly moving tribute to that love.  ***Ivy Rose

To each of you:
I certainly have found peace in my life with the reality of a broken heart. And in large part these responses offer an insight as to why. Bless each of you for your ceaseless caring. Life is good...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
