So, of course, I started with the month of May. The most traumatic month of ur life. May 27th. <br /><br />In one of the comments, I read where Jackson plays "cello". U know how I feel about the cello. Cello is the "old soul's" instrument. I see too where u described Kerry as born an "old soul" in one of his baby pics. I understand being born an old soul.<br /><br />I sang the "Baby's Lullaby" to my pups last night. Buttons likes to lay his head on mine always. He goes to great links to make sure his head is laying side-by-side with mine. I have been in many a distorted position to accomodate his need to be close to me. Fur up my nose and in my eyes. I can hear his heartbeat and breathing when he is that close to me. Maybe he hears mine too. Patches, as well, needed to be close last night as well. As it stormed outside, we were all snuggled in bed. Me reading my mystery novel regarding cemeteries. Cemeteries can be quite beautiful and tranquil. Buttons with his head against mine. Patches laying close to my feet at the end of the bed.<br /><br /><br />This particular blog touched me.Miss Stormy "Gumshoe" Marpleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633119568664037542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-85434617303864197312010-06-02T08:05:54.385-04:002010-06-02T08:05:54.385-04:00Thank you Terre and Emily ...

Hugs to you and congrats on its passing!<br /><br />In my first year it was frangipani flowers... they seemed to fall at my feet everywhere and I felt that he sent them. Now it is more subtle - it is a street scene that he would have photographed. It's a reflection in someone's eyes, and for a moment he is there. It is the calm, all-encompassing serenity of the ocean that he loved, the ocean that he died in.Yogini Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787351711548823249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-48306082795990447832010-05-31T12:39:48.948-04:002010-05-31T12:39:48.948-04:00love hearing that others share the joy of visual r...love hearing that others share the joy of visual reminders... <br /><br />Kerry brings me penny's - tail side up. and 27's <br />Stevie, who passed in 2004 in a car accident is dragonflies.<br />Adam, who passed 3 weeks before Kerry, is white butterflies<br />Michael is the ebb and flow of the ocean and rainbow mist (how beautiful is that!)<br /><br />what tells you your loved one has not gone...?Green Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427381976705069464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-39891320716851361272010-05-31T09:19:51.898-04:002010-05-31T09:19:51.898-04:00This is a moving and beautiful post.
