I told her husband about your lovely funeral (as they are making plans for hers, so it's done how she wants it) and he said she would love it like that. I'm going to borrow your poem, if I may, to give to him and the two children... I think it might be a small help to them.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for sharing this.Annelisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404801255562567591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21985601.post-42343260602577180562007-06-12T11:38:00.000+01:002007-06-12T11:38:00.000+01:00What a wonderful casket.

These pictures, all of them, are beautiful. What a perfect, human tribute by a wonderful person for a wonderful person. Lettuce, I salute you.<BR/><BR/>The casket, too, is absolutely gorgeous. I'm so glad you took pics and that you're generous enough to share them with us. What a way to go! It's truly fabulous.<BR/><BR/>What is a life well lived? For me it includes the smiling and the sorrow, fullness, emptiness, all the qualities named in the poem. Sometimes I'm able to make a choice about what emotion I'm experiencing. At times like that, choosing the positive side of things enhances everything. But sometimes I'm just sad. Can't help it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for this beautiful post, for making me cry and filling me with beautiful images and provocative thoughts. I'm so glad to "know" you!Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.com
