Dear Gelin Family,
My heart and prayers go out to you during this difficult time. Your husband/father was a wonderful man to work with. He was never without a story to tell us about his beautiful family; the girls competitions or his wife's cooking, he loved you all so much. He will be missed.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
