I sent a Valentine’s Day card to a friend
Filled with get well wishes…
Hoping she was on the mend
I sealed it with heart stickers
On the envelope flap
Got my mail today
And what did I see?
Familiar hearts stickers
On the envelope flap
I thought it was from her
But it was not to be
DECEASED?
I cried
No not her
RETURN TO SENDER?
I didn’t know
How could that be?
UNABLE TO FORWARD?
What do you mean?
Don’t angels get mail?

For Liz
1/9/18 Gone too soon.
A horrific way to find about a death
You are never prepared to see those words
Deceased - Return to sender- Unable to forward
I received this in my mail..not knowing she was gone
