Wherever you are I wish you well with all my heart. I hope life is kind and you often smile. Yes, I think of you. I've never forgotten. What I have taken into my soul remains in my soul and the soul is eternal. So here you are, never gone from me, and though the years pass, I still sit by the fire and remember you as I hold my cup of coffee and look at the flames. Always moments of my life trigger memories of you, and I think of you, of all we lived, of where you are now, without me, of how many more years I will live always carrying your memory. It is a sense of gratitude mixed with melancholy that always overtakes me when thoughts of you fall as the rain pours. Yes, you are with me always, like I promised you would be. I have kept my promise. I wonder if you have kept yours, and perhaps I will never know, but I am content to know I have kept mine.
