Thankyou Elaine, the words are beautiful. I have printed the poem for my Mum, as my Dad passed away just over two years ago. I know she will find some comfort from them, especially the bit about the hugs as that is what she misses the most. Me too! Frances

Oh thank you, Elaine! Am at work - (tsk) - but crying over that. Some of you may know that I lost my beloved sister Jenny at the beginning of August and am not in a good way. Glenys - we particularly enjoyed your poem on the other thread; I printed all of those other ones of and a friend of Jenny's read them out on Sunday. Glenys' one starts with 'God looked down from Heaven..' Thank you again, Cathy ~~
