My mother kept a poem by this name on her bulletin board

1. I am missing so many people right now who have passed away but I treasure that they loved me and that I knew them.

2. Mourning the loss of an elderly friend from Church

3. But remembering the twinkle in his eye and his smile.

4. He made homemade grape jelly that was the bomb

5. Using his passing to remind myself not to put off-

6. The visit

7.The phone call

8. The card

9. The hug

10. Some lessons are painful but i will bless it and let it become a blessing. (See Helen’s post about the fortune cookie)
