Yet, I believe in the power of life and that each being is unique. We experience the uniqueness of a person by loving him or her. So there are more unique beings we can get to know better, love and be in this big embrace we call universal love.

One member had passed around your new book and another asked for your popular blog (I told the group how an arrival of your blog by email just brightens the days of many in my guild). Yesterday, something happened with the FeedBlitz, but by persistence I was able to find this. I have signed up again and will mail out your blog address to all in the bee. They will be cheered! <br /> I am glad to meet Marty so that I can picture him as I do you when I drive toward Livingston from NYC. The last time was for my granddaughter's Valentine 6th birthday. We will meet up! Enjoying watching Emma. After 2 boys, I realize girls are such fun.

Seems like just yesterday. There will always be things, dates and memories that bring Marty back to you, and after a while, you don't feel the pain as strongly, and cherish that feeling of nearness again. It's a bittersweet time, that's for sure.
