“I thought of you today, but that was nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that, too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories, and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I’ll never part. God has you in his arms. I have you in my heart.”
