In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

To the family of my former friend and co-fire fighter:

Scott and I spent many days and nights at the Fire Station on Coming Street. We ate together and discussed many problems. Later on when his son, Charles, followed in his footsteps and became a firefighter, I took him under my wings, after getting to know him.

I regret very much that I was not able to attend the wake service. After becoming a dialysis patient, my eye sight prohibits me from driving effectively at night. I will not be able to be with you at the service on Monday because I will be on dialysis. Please know that my prayers are with you as you go through this most difficult period.

I will miss Scott very much and I know he will be missed my many.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
