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. Yes I have memories in my pocket like so much other stuff I keep. But of all the treasures I have it's the memories of you that are most precious.......missing you Lou Lou!

Lou, Lou, my baby brother, I feel such a VOID in my heart right now. I will miss your calls--two, three, sometimes 4 times a day. "Sistah" how do I cook this, how do I cook that? There's a sale on this, do you think that's a good price?
You tried to make everyone think that you were getting better;but you knew better. I KNOW that you are in a perfect place now and you are now whole again. Until we see each other again, I will miss you little brother. I love you! your sister

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.
