Really enjoyed this Pierre.

Warmth and tenderness exudes from this poem of eternal love.
Love forever captured in his smile - precious and priceless.

Indeed, you're never apart. Such love is eternally bound within your hearts.

This is so beautiful, Diana. I cried reading it, so much from the heart, such tender love and sadness. I feel the pain of loss, too, and the beauty of that moment, connecting the first kiss to his last breath. So touching and sweet.

So happy, so enchanting.

So sad, so moving

so deep, so inspiring.

Such a lovely poem, so tenderly conveyed and deeply felt.

Love lives on forever. How true, and yet we must be reminded of it when the dark days come. Well said, and thanks for reminding us.

Such a sweet and beautiful poem to your loved one that you are sharing with us! Thank you, Diana!

Yes, our loved ones are always with us. Even when they are no longer in this physical world, their spirits are still with us and protect us everyday.

Poignant, powerful, sad, happy, moving, inspirational, and most of all--
beautiful!

An incredibly beautiful poem that encompasses the life-changing moments you have shared with your loved ones. It is poignant ... it is sincere ... it is inspirational ... and wonderfully written. Thank you for sharing.

Yes life is like that. Happening in a twinkling of the eye. If we don't catch the poignant moments like you have so well with that photo of the passion flower bloom on your husband's hand.

Sadly, but beautifully rendered.

Yes! True and genuine love is all! This is a deeply moving and meaningful poem, Diana. Love, peace, and best wishes to you,

I agree with Paul Lonardo, ‘extraordinary,’ this piece of writing. There is immense richness in the extent to which such human emotions are revealed. The ‘trinity of deep abiding love’ is so unique in the expression of bonding a couple and child. The sensitive way you unfolded this story that includes a whole life journey is remarkable. Conveying these huge milestones is a challenge, but you have cupped it into your hand as gently and importantly as the Passion flower in the palm of his hand. Mixing the loss and treasure in the same frame is a skill you certainly had with this, Diana. ~~ djl

In The Twinkling of an Eye:

How true, Diana.... This a wonderfully sweet and terribly sad poem.

I feel these words because now, at age eighty-seven all that has past has indeed "Been in the Twinkling of an Eye.

You captured the experience well. The sadness and hope expressed is palpable. "In the Twinkling of an Eye" is taken directly from Holy Writ. I Corinthians 15:52. NIV. rlc

An extraordinary and moving poem!

A beautiful testament to undying love, you say so much in this one Diana to remind us all that when we lose someone we love it is not a loss but a parting until we meet again.
