Words cannot express my gratitude for the outpouring of love and support which I have received during the recent passing of my mother. The same holds true for my family, all of whom join with me in offering this sincere and heartfelt statement of appreciation for all of the visits, calls, e-mails, text messages, cards, and letters we have received.
The various gestures, prayers, and words of comfort you have offered have meant more than you can imagine. Whether it was something as time consuming as a meal, or as simple as a texted emoje, each and every response has been meaningful to us in our hour of need. Indeed, sometimes, just the simplest of overtures have mean the most.
One such example is this poem that I received from a dear fiend. I post it here today because the message it contains has spoken volumes to me in this time. If you, like me, have loved ones in Heaven, then I trust this poem speaks as much to your heart as it does to mine.
