Memories
Like the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
The world has lost a wonderful soul and heaven has gained her. My friend Maggi (on the right, me on the left) who passed on July 10, 2016.
This is written for #WQWWC – Writers Quote Wednesday Writing Challenge – Memories at https://silverthreading.com/2016/07/13/wqwwc-writers-quote-wednesday-writing-challenge-memories/.
The prompt for this week is Memories. Very appropriate for me this week because I am lost in memories of my dear friend. The lyrics to this Barbra Streisand classic were written by Marilyn Bergman.
Oh, Bernadette, I’m so sorry for your loss. That’s a wonderful picture!

Bernadette, at first, just seeing the photo, I had to smile at the two happy self-confident women, free and their whole lives in front of them. Then reading your words, my mood darkened – I am so sorry for your loss, Bernadette. My heart goes out to you and hope the memories that are held within you can give some comfort. Hugs to you xx

There’s nothing quite like the loss of a loved one. I’m still dealing with my grandma’s death a year and a half ago. May your memories help sustain you through this time of sorrow.
