Anniversary

I miss you at the unexpected moments, a stranger,s smile brings sudden tears. I miss you Summer, Autumn into Winter. Spring only brings another lonely year. I hear your voice on evening breezes, Your touch is in the softly falling rain. In dappled shade I see you walking. As twilight falls, I taste your kiss. In dreams I feel your arms enfold me, pressing me close to your heart. In my ear you gently whisper " You & I will never part " Pat

Re: Anniversary

I have checked but I think the beautiful words written by Pat were in remembrance of our dear departed Aunt Annie whose first anniversary was on 9th June.

Re: Anniversary

Sorry, I meant to say I have NOT checked.

Re: Anniversary

Ann,

As I said last night,knew both ur brothers, Joseph used to live round the corner from us, his wife was Italian and I remember the twins (girls). Pat wee poem was lovely.

You wonder why some people are nasty,but I always
rise above that sort of thing, life is too short.
Hubby says maybe some people have nothing to be happy about.

Re: Anniversary

Hi Beano,

Daughter in Vancover Island, staying with girls she knows from the South, says it is really lovely, she is going whale watching to-day. She was in Calgary for a few days says it is just a big city,but nice enough.
She is really enjoying Canada. My daughter is very quiet not like Ann or I, as my hubby says (just full of good clean fun.

Re: Re: Anniversary

Hi Katie,

Your daughter will love the "Island", she will get a kick out whale watching, been there done that, it is very exciting. We had a real pleasure one time on the Ferry from the Mainland to the Island, the Captain announced a school of Whales was swimming along side, there was nine of them it was a terrific sight. Tell her to try "Milestones" on the Inner Harbour in Victoria, the food is very good, and the price is right. If she is coming near Niagara before she goes home we would be pleased to show her around. If she is, and would like to contact us, I will give you my phone no. by e-mail.
