Come Again By Larry Chadwick In memory of Ginger Michelle It’s not that I don’t want to see you more often, but you show up in my dreams so seldom. Touching you again felt so natural, it didn’t seem odd you were there. What shocked me was it ended so soon, my waking cut your visit too short… reminding me how long you’d really been gone. I miss you so much I can’t imagine why I don’t find you there more often. August 19, 2013 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Well now Bluesie, I can always count on you. What a kind a faithful friend you are. That dream was night before last just before I awoke for the day. And it really caught me off guard emotionally. But it was a pleasurable ache. Thank you again. |

*Hugs* It is truly amazing how God works in this life. As we are making preparations for our High school reunion we were talking about memories and your daughter and Our teacher was topic of discussion for a few hours, it started with just a few of us, and soon the our classmates gathered one by one and we shared many memories. I popped in here to reminisce some more and came across this poem. It is beautifully written and we were all so very blessed to have our lives touched by Miss Chadwick. I don't know how to Thank You Larry, for the daughter you brought into this world. The loss you've suffered I cannot imagine. You raised an amazing person, who radiated love from deep within her soul. I'm not sure how I would have survived High School has she not been a part of my life, and I could never re-pay you for that. I thank you so sincerely, and from the bottom of my heart. I know that she watches over you and that she is with you still. Thank you for sharing these words with us! With Love, Kellie |

Dear Kellie, Your words are more meaningful than I am able to convey. You and all of Ginger's students are a living reminder to me of the value of her life. The willingness of so many of you to remain in contact with Nancy and me is testimony to your character. We are richly blessed to watch from afar. That you are all 30 or soon to be is mind boggling. Thank goodness life keeps moving forward. Bless you for sharing. Thank you. Larry C If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

Heart-wrenching, but a good read. It reminds me of what it feels to have a loss. |
