Today is a day that I find myself having a heavy heart.  My Mom passed away seven years ago today.  It's hard to believe it has been that long.  I feel as if it were yesterday.  Today is also my Dad's birthday.  He would have been 67 years old.  For me, they both were taken much too soon.  I miss you both and love you more than words.  



I think, no matter where you stray,
That I shall go with you a way.
Though you may wander sweeter lands,
You will not soon forget my hands,
Nor yet the way I held my head,
Nor all the tremulous things I said.
You still will see me, small and white
And smiling, in the secret night,
And feel my arms about you when
The day comes fluttering back again.
I think, no matter where you be,
You’ll hold me in your memory
And keep my image, there without me,
By telling later loves about me.
