Ida, thank you.  I rarely write now ~ I will again, I am sure.  I do come here to read and will share that I am here more often.  Thank you for being here, my friend.

Thank you, Jerry.  My Mom was a very special lady.  I miss her, but am happy for her that she died with the dignity that she deserved.  Anyway, again .. thank you.

The purity of this piece is arresting, Alison. Against everything the world preches I say don't ever let go. They will always be there.

I ache for your pain, Alison, yet I envy you deeply.

I love how the grey of the font sits softly in the grey of the sky.

This touches my very soul... and brings forth a tear from my own well of missing. Simply beautiful.

So few words Alison, and yet so strongly felt by this reader. Beautifully penned.

Best wishes and hugs,
