love is.....

....memories.

This is the way life is.....

people come into our lives,

we grow to love them very much,

then,

for one reason or another,

they leave.

Sometimes death takes them from us...

other times circumstances

cause those we love

not to be around

anymore.

God gave our humanness a very special gift....

that of memory,

remembering the people we love

in all the good times we shared together.

Very often I will dream of I those love,

which brings a kind of regret when you awake

and focus on the truth.

But in reality,

the dream brings them closer

in mind and spirit

Above are some letters from my Mom. and Dad.

I like to get them out occasionally

and read to remember.

I would recognize their handwriting anywhere.

Words help me to remember those I love.

Pictures...

this blog is filled with them.

I also have books full of pictures going way back to

my great-grandparents.

Such joy to see faces and smiles.

Memories are precious reminders

of yesterdays 

spent in the best of times.
