We'll see. An inch a day for a week would be a lovely start.<br /><br />There are absences that can't be measured, holes that can't be filled. Still, we reach out. Thank you for doing that for your neighbor.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-25899238317032544702011-10-02T18:07:51.016-05:002011-10-02T18:07:51.016-05:00When somebody you love is suddenly gone, there is ...When somebody you love is suddenly gone, there is no such thing as balance, no in-betweeness.

But because he is next door not across the street we don't see him come outside. We do try to get over to visit with him at least once a week. You are a dear to do so. I close my eyes and in a few years I hope someone visits with either SM or me.<br />Rain, for so many it is the thing of wishful thinking and dreaming I fear.
