When a loved one crosses
into another dimension-
'Grief' takes command,
eventually giving way-

"to reflection"

We take down from that
dusty shelf, a box of memories-
Old photos from when we were children-
of our parents,
brothers, sisters,aunts, uncles, cousins.....friends

of trips taken, adventures dared, events attended-

 "together"

Sadness...................turns to smiles

Our focus changes.......
to our children...grandchildren...
Which is how it should be...

For some day.....there will come a time,..................................

Grab your camera, take as many photos as you can of your children/grandchildren as they grow. You will never regret it.
