January 1, 2021 at 4:53 pmI thought of you with love today and yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence. I often speak your name. All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.
