You’re far too generous with your praise Susie but I so thank you for it and I’m really so happy that you liked this.

Sis – you know how I feel about you especially – and that light, that divinity – it’s in you and all you do. Thank you for everything dearest Sis! You are an amazing woman!

I imagine that e e cummings would find “gooey” perfectly poetic and I certainly do too! And I’m very touched Tina – thank you!

Joe, my dear friend – what a very lovely thing to say! Certainly we must keep love in our hearts always and open to all loving in this beautiful universe. Your comment means a great deal to me!

What a lovely and totally poetic comment Amy – and how wonderfully sweet of you to say! I’m just tremendously pleased that you liked it!

Thank you Mary – if you felt them then maybe I was successful. I so much appreciate your lovely comment.

You’re very astute Nancy – and only one who has loved selflessly could know that so well. Thank you for “getting it” – but then you always do, my friend.

Thanks so much Lisa – yes we have that right – in fact, it’s almost an obligation to remember the good, it’s what keeps us alive and believing in love. I’m so glad you liked it Lisa.

Thank you from my heart Bev – yes, for someone very special indeed. I’m so very happy that you liked it!

Thank you my sweet friend – coming from one with so much heart and soul herself, that is high praise indeed. I’m glad you liked it Lina.

Stanley what a perfectly lovely thing to say! Thank you so very much – I really appreciate it a great deal!

Ah Loramae – I’m so very glad this touched you. You are so right, we never forget. I know I’ve missed countless posts of yours, my friend, but there’s no way I can play catch up on everything after being off a few. I’ll try though – hate to miss anything you do as you have become a fabulous photographer in very short order!!!!!!! Thank you dear Loramae – you always make me feel as if what I write is worthwhile!!

Thank you so much Paul – I’m very touched by your comment and I truly appreciate it a great deal!

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment Nicole – I’m very glad it touched you in some way. I appreciate it very much!

Wendy I’m so honored by your visit and by your lovely comment – coming from someone whose own work so speaks to me and that I so admire. Thank you so very much!

Thank you so much Lisa- no it’s never forgotten, is it? Nor should the best of it, the joy of just loving ever be forgotten. I’m so very glad you liked it and appreciate your thoughtful comment.

Thank you Holly – your comment on this means a great deal to me. I appreciate it so much.

Well thank you Mariaan – sometimes it’s just something we all have to remember. I suspect that even down the road, I’ll always write like this – it’s just a human thing. I so appreciate your lovely comments my dear friend.

Thanks ever so much Luke – life would be pretty grim without the softer memories, wouldn’t it? And it never hurts to remember loving!

Thank you so much Dottie – and I’m honored that you’ve added me to your watchlist! I hope the poem touched a chord for many because even when love doesn’t work it the way we planned, it’s worth remembering the best of it!

Those are the memories worth keeping though aren’t they? Even though sometimes they make us grieve the loss. Thank you sweet Jen – I’m touched by your comment.

Thank you so much Martie – I’m glad it touched you. It was a very special and personal piece for me. I appreciate your comment so much!

Yes, it is – that doesn’t mean we don’t wish to have our love returned but we can’t expect or demand that as a fair exchange for what we freely give and for what reward we get from the giving. I’m so glad you liked this Velvet – and I thank you for your lovely comment.

Oh Jenny we are never really alone – or as that line in P.S. I Love You says – we are alone together! What a lovely and generous thing to say, my friend. And you write every bit as movingly and inspiringly and I’m looking forward to seeing it soon! Thank you!

Yes it can be terribly painful, especially if we are still feeling the loss of such love – but, it also helps us to remember the joy, what we learned about loving another just because… Thank you so much Cathrine – I’m touched and honored by your comment and your favoriting this work (which just happens to be my own personal favorite as well).
