Favourite Things: Rain and Friends
Two of my favourite things
happened to me today…
Rain fell. On my windscreen.
Fat droplets sliding into sweet patterns.
It fell on my side window too,
while I was visiting a friend…
while I was visiting a friend…
My darling friend Lil.
Her epitaph reads:
“She lived Life & Loved to Laugh”
I can still hear her laughter.
And feel her love of life.
I see it in the image I took of her,
now captured indelibly on her headstone,
taken on the verandah of my city home,
as we shared a belly laugh.
…
Even now,
I cannot help but giggle silently with her,
remembering her, that belly laugh,
her joy in her life, and in mine,
and still
I share my milestones with her.
Even now.

“There is no death!
the stars go down
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in Heaven’s jeweled crown,
They shine forever more.”
– John L. McCreery
I’m sorry for your loss but glad that you can remember the wonderful person you love.

Gorgeous photos that evoked a mood in me that was dashed with the realization that your friend has passed. And yet you laugh on with her beauty. Wonderful you~

I am so glad that she lives on with you… I am careful to remember those who have gone before me, lest they are truly lost.

Oh, I wondered which of our wonderful Lils you were referring to in your latest post.
