In memory of a very special woman: Donna W. Dear friend of 22 years. I found out tonight my dear friend had passed from an ongoing struggle with lung disease. The end came quickly and it's a reminder to us all to live well, laugh often and love without condition. Yesterday was the one year anniversary of the sister's passing. If there is someone you haven't forgiven in this life, do it. If someone seeks forgiveness from you, grant it. It's a win win situation. A moment of silence for all of us feeling the sting of loss right now. Blessings.

Shortly after I lost Momma I was online going through poetry pages and I came across this. The poem itself is amazing but it was the picture behind it. It could have been the farm I grew up on ... the lake, the little island everything was perfect. Shivers went up and down my spine and I knew Momma was still with me. I have kept a copy of this with me ever since and shared it with many who have have needed it.
there are not enough words to describe the pain, the anguish of loosing a child but when I found out that those children were the same age as my girl I fell. my heart goes out to the state to the families and to the angels.
Shortly after I first left home, (many, many moons ago lol), I was livig in Montreal in a little apartment, in an old house, on the 2nd floor, with the kitchen table set in bay windows overlooking a park. I spent a lot of time sitting at that table and this poem is a true story. It was almost 6 months later that I wrote it, and I actually had it published in one of the Eastern Townships Newspapers.
Into these poems I put my thoughts My feelings The why life has led me on Should I go this way or the other path way Which is best the left or the right path way My future I do not know what is instore only the future will no I know my pa
This was for Gino,a ferret, I first met at a ferret rescue event. He was a dark eyed white. He had been so badly treated by children ( flung around by the tail, etc) and I guess he finally bit so they cut his canine (eye) teeth off. OUCH! Poor little boy. He was totally deaf and blind in one eye. You would think he would hate people. But no, he was the sweetest, most loving little thing you ever saw. The last three years of his life he never saw a cage. He shared the cat's litter box, and sometimes bed lol. Gino used to get in my purse and go out with me, and oh he loved the grass. he would roll and roll. I just know that over the Rainbow Bridge somewhere Gino is playing in some big green field.
written for a friend who was just told she has three months leftt to live

Loss of a loved one..
When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in North Platte, Nebraska; it was believed that he had nothing left of any value. Later, when nurses were going through his meager possessions, they found this poem. When you meet an older person who you might brush aside without looking at the young soul within, think twice. (Author is deceased and unknown)

This poem is my heart felt grief after the loss of my dear mother who was my only family I miss her terribly and I'm sure I'll die of a broken heart.

In the memory of my late father..
