lloyd62,

That heart of yours will do something meaningful with your desire I am sure. I would welcome knowing more of your memories... it feels like a story to tell when you sing that song for people....

I have known people in the same way you describe and in some cases did have a chance to tell them or give what I knew was right to give expressing my appreciatin for all I had gotten through them. And when we don't have or take that chance, it does feel soooo blue. It usually brings another great life lesson with the feeling... The lesson not only can transform our lives and those we touch, but it beomes one more lovely, wonderful thing to think of whenever you think of that person.

I also find myself wondering, is there someone else you know, now, who could use all the love and appreciation you held for this lady?

And sometimes, I have found to my amazed delight, just thinking and feeling that appreciation, as you have done up to now, has been a prayer that got where the "actual" appreciation was intended to go.
