To my dearest mama it has been almost a month since you have gone and I miss you terribly. I am so thankful that you went peacefully, but really wasn't prepared for how quickly you left us.
I felt you watching me from the hall and did take comfort in knowing that your spirit will always be with me.
Take care my sweet little rabbit.

I love you

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.

Dear David,
I was thinking of you the other day, and then saw your mother's notice in the paper. I am so sorry for the pain that you are going through, and I hope you feel her spirit with you always. Love to you and your family, Diane
