Caroline, was such a dear friend of my moms. I could remember the days when I was a little girl the hair permanents "what a smell", the pin curls and then the rollers....on Friday nights. Caroline will be missed...and always remembered. What a smile she had...God Bless.

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.
