remembering charlotte...

one of my close friend lost one of her close friends and that made me think about charlotte...i miss her...losing charlotte was hard...

i am still young enough that the death of my friends is not something expected...we have not lived through to the golden years...our children are barely in or out of grade school, for those of us that have any...we don't have grandchildren...we still work full time, retirement is not just around the corner...we don't qualify for senior citizens discounts and aarp are just a bunch of letters that apply to our grandparents and MAYBE our parents...

so...when i lost charlotte...i was not prepared...i know that life's cycles bring about change...and that all of my minutes on this earth were numbered from the time that god breathed his breath into my body...but to see another reach the end of their time before their time...well...

i just wanted to take a moment to remember her...

charlotte's poem
i’m touching your forehead to mine…

trying to read you’re thoughts…
i keep hearing the question “Why?”…

my heart is beating in the same rhythm as yours and feeling the same pain…

i comfort you and we breathe the same breath…

and our tears flow to the same spot…

and we are remembering…
