"I love you darling," were the last words you said to me.
And although I don't have a
recording of it,and although I forgot to save your voicemails,
I will never forget the sound
of your voice.I see you in every flower and every hummingbird that happens to be near.
I'd like to think that it's your spirit, just saying hello.
You surround me, always.
I miss you.
And I love you, too.
