Virtual Journal By Larry Chadwick Time, that commodity which heals, Seems only to come in abundance – after you are gone. And yet when I ponder… I find a collection of events That are full of you. So it’s hard to curse the calendar, That somehow has saved memories of you. Thank goodness diaries are not required, Or my recollections would be as empty as my journal. Besides, then I don’t have to be sitting on my bed to conger up thoughts of you. Rather clever to find you a thought away. August 11, 2005 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. [This message has been edited by Larry C (08-12-2005 10:54 AM).] |

This hit home for me, Larry: Time, that commodity that heals, Seems only to come in abundance – after you are gone. because while life is "happening" you never stop to see. It is as if exactly as you say, after they are gone. Then you find your mind wandering the universe . . . |

I am also in that frame of mind right now, and it is nice to know though we can "think them up" when we need them  |

sigh...you could fill your journals with these words....its a start, and I am sure more will follow....I understand the ache ...but there is the hope of light in healing....  In your light I learn how to love |

Larry, your words are sure to have a profound effect on anyone who reads them. For almost all of us have lost someone we loved. When I read your poem, I heard your soul softly speaking. Loving hugs, Linda P.S. From your new pic, I can see that you're not getting older! ~ You're getting younger! I'll take a case of whatever it is that you're drinking!  |

Martie, And sweet to think of you in the same manner. Thank you.  littlewing, Wandering the universe and still bumping into those that matter most. I think I like that. Thanks. Sharon, Indeed it is. How are things north of the border? Becka, Dear girl, ya' know how to make an old man smile. Lauren, Yes mam, there's always hope. And these blue pages are as close as I get to a journal. Thank you sweetie. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Larry, those "just a thought away" times are so precious, aren't they? and, yes, they are always right there close to the surface. Thank you for sharing your heart with us again, Larry. Hugs, Ethel |
