Melinda, I love this poem. I have read this many times and always feel a sense of comfort each time. You know, we have to really remember and believe these words after losing a loved one. I remember hearing an interview on the radio with Josh Groban, right after he released the song "To Where You Are." This song was dedicated to his dear GM, who he had loved very much. In the interview, Josh said that before her death, his GM used to tell him that every time he thought of her, she would be alive. This poem also brings that to mind. It's true. Memories of our love ones are what keep them alive and with us. I have been thinking of you and saying prayers for you and your family!!!
