OK, now I'm crying. But thank you. Tomorrow I'm looking for a sandpiper in my life.

Can't see to type. Thanks.

Start reading, sniff, take off glasses, find tissues, dry tears.. finally bring tissues to computer.


Thank you that was beautiful. What a tear jerker.....

That was very touching.

I found this on a search in 1997 when I put my name in, Ruth Peterson, just to see how many of us there were at that time. This poem came and, I too, had a crying spell. It is very touching but it was told by a Ruth Peterson in the first person, not Robert Peterson. Funny what your own name results come up with in these searches.

Blessings,
Ruth Scott Peterson

Thank you.

That was just beautiful!!!!!!!!!

This is so fitting. She was asking if dying hurt and he was wrapped in his own grief and misunderstood. Yes, I'm weepy.

Beautiful and brings tears to my eyes.

It is good to revisit. Thanks.
