Forgive me if this isn’t quite up to snuff...I am missing (in my mind) one of
my grandchildren today....who is hundreds of miles away...Hugs are accepted
without charge....and returned gratefully...

Today...
Not the first
Far from the last
of many

I wonder at times?
Can one heart endure and beat
through the sadness of
the soul within?

Tomorrow...
The day after yesterday
and the day before
the next.

How many days
will blood flow endlessly
through the veins
without you?

Give me the morrow
that I might cherish it
as I do each day.

Give me the strength to walk
to continue this journey
of a heart in wait.

As my blood shares your veins,
so do you share mine
and all of my heart...

dancing with you in the summer rain~

Magnus,
You are not alone. In this department you have to take a number. Well done I enjoyed.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Barry, this is so beautifully heartfelt with a tinge of sadness, sweet friend, I know how much you must miss him, but know he will always love you and there will come many times you will visit! (sigh) I know how you feel vice-versa because I wonder how my parents will miss me now that I'm moving on to college! (sigh) This is powerfully compassionately expressed, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

YEP,  I am standing in line,  my number is...
double digit...  Thanx Sy...

Noah,  I am sure that your parents will miss
you...Yet they will accept that burden
knowing that you are growing up...and taking
a signifcant step toward manhood and maturity.
