I had never heard of her but am so glad I read that book.

I really admire your generous and lucid soul, and I hope your life finds the glowingness that you seem to emanate.<BR/><BR/>I (fortunately) haven't lost my husband, but in three years lost my father and both of my inlaws, and these moments are very painful. I found a poem, I don't know who wrote it, that expressed my feelings. <BR/>Marigold<BR/><BR/>Just because I love you so<BR/>I turn to watch you as you go<BR/>without your light I cannot see<BR/>look down, bright sun<BR/>and shine on me.<BR/><BR/>I actually do think of my father when I see a marigold, and know his presence is with me, and the light of his bright smile really comes through to me. I feel as close to him as I did decades ago as a child. <BR/><BR/>May you and your readers feel peace and happiness.thecutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613769254429735260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13732635.post-1150210811588037642006-06-13T10:00:00.000-05:002006-06-13T10:00:00.000-05:00Hi Suzann ~~ My first visit also, and I like te lo...Hi Suzann ~~ My first visit also, and I like te look of your blog.
