Kate Clifford's Daddy passed away. Please keep her in your (((HUGS))), love and prayer ...


Poem Artwork


... Words cannot begin
to describe sudden feelings
of your world dropping

out from under you:
an elevator gone out
of control.  The long

fall of sadness is
one I know well.  You wonder
when the tears will stop;

perhaps never.  But
understand this:  my arms reach
out in an embrace

that will let you down
slow and easy; I will be
here if you need me ...

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (5/19)

Oh, Karla. The empathy that rings in every word is bound to
give Kate comfort, bless her sweet heart. In these early days, she
may be in too much pain to absorb the message, but as strong as she is, I just know your tender and beautifully-presented gift will give
her great solace. Y O U, dear friend. Your warmth and sensitivity
are beyond inspiring. <3 Pea <3

Wonderful words of caring and promises to let another know you are wishing them support. Just having enough people say that to you has to be wonderful to let you know you are never going to be alone. Lady J
