Beautiful remembrance poem, Karla. Despite the years gone by, our loved ones always remain in our hearts. I hope you can remember her arms around you and that you will feel her presence near.

Hugs,
Cryssa
P.S. I have missed reading your words and am trying to find the time to spend here at AD again. :~)

How beautiful and on this day. After 20 years! you can still write such a spring-lovely memorial. It gives me hope for my hopelessly 'nostalgic'
character. I'm putting it back in my music...
best, Mike

Karla,
Poignant and bittersweet on a day when others celebrate; of course the sense of loss and the grief remain forever but I wish you and yours a very Happy St Patrick's Day.

I know where you're coming from, Karla. I lost my Mom at too young an age too. It doesn't seem fair, huh? At least I know she is with God in Heaven, for only the good die young.
