Iesha, It has been a year, in a few days, that you've past. I still can't believe it. That day will forever be imbedded in my memory. You were such a strong person. Everyone admired your honesty, your ability to light up a room, loyalty, friendship and how you would take charge of any situation. There has never been one like you, nor will there ever be another one like you. The people that have gotten the chance to meet you feel blessed, the ones that didnt get the chance to meet you will never understand how much they are missing out on such a wonderful person. I love you so much...

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
