Active Imagination:
And what she says today in fantasy is … … …

It is physically impossible
to be with all who love and miss you at the same time,
But there may still be a way.
One way I could be with you is by email.
Another way is through a web page. I can give you.
This might be a privilege, just for friends, but I trust you.
Another might be with face time.
But the best way I can be with you
is through all the things you have collected
that help you to remember me.
One method or other will be either more or less technical.
But the objects that help you remember me
Make a connection with us that will never be severed.
When you remember me,
I am with you; and for as long as you remember me,
I am always going to be with you.
When you want to be held and loved,
I am with you.
When days get to be too much to bare,
I am with you.
When you want to feel taken care of,
I am with you.
No matter how far away we are
No matter even if I die.

Like being in a far away place you’ll never visit.

And what of Time, or circumstance, or geography or Space?
They aren’t all that important;
As long as you can fantasize,
As long as you imagine us, with you, together.

No earthly force or circumstance
is ever going to break your special connection with our family.
Nor will you ever, ever leave us.
And who knows? … … …

You might wanna email this to her because she hasn't been here in 3 years

sad thing of the way things are indeed...

the way things have become

I love her and this is a beautiful poem

she knows I love her and always will
forever

but sadly what PIP has become is just too much to bear
