On this day, I can't help but think
of one of the very best friends I have ever had.
The time always passed so quickly.
The words came so effortlessly.
The admiration and adoration was mutual.
And the laughter...well, it was plentiful and from the soul.
It engaged the world around us.
What fun we had.
In my heart, only beautiful thoughts remain.
I believe we are who we are in life because of the people
we have loved and those who have loved us so deeply in return.

down the path to my Today.
You would be so proud!
You have left an indelible mark on my life.
I am truly in your debt and carry you with me forever.
Happy 63rd Birthday, FMT!
As I lit a candle in your honor this morning
I smiled and thought:
Heaven is no longer missing an Angel!

Laughter from the colorful field of the spirit;
Tears from the endless heaven of memories," ~ Tears and Laughter...

His charisma jumps off the screen, and it is easy to see what drew you to one another.
ReplyDeleteSoul mates, people we were destined to cross paths with in this lifetime in some way, shape, or form because it is just meant to be.
There are soul groups who always stay together, and I believe you belong to a very large one; a heart as large as your was meant to love and be loved by many.
I wish I knew your friend, I am drawn to his images I can only imagine what he had to give.
Sending a hug to you and your angel.
Love Valerie
