What an incredible post to snap the frame closed on the portrait of Jim! I found it profound to read and think about the significance of "rosebud." Your words about "garbage day" and how you move through relationship with the memories are so meaningful and touching. I certainly relate -- first we cry at what we lost, then we smile at what we have had the fortune to cherish. Thank you for sharing the journey with us. We send you love from here in Tennessee and look forward to whenever we meet again.

Beautiful! We miss him too, and we treasure times with YOU.

I will celebrate Jim with a chocolate ice cream cone today. Sending love and HUGS!
