Hunter

I love you Hunter ~ You always made me grin
When you were young
You had a special way
Of bringing so much joy
To those around you
Each and every day
You’ve always had such energy
You just light up like the sun
You’re such a great nephew
It’s always been such fun
Spending time with you
This wish is for plenty of Cheer
I have a wonderful Nephew
You make me laugh
You bring such joy
Light up those candles
Happy 18th  Birthday Nephew
You are so very dear to me!

Best Friends ~

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. ~Henri Nouwen

Calling ~

Calling Cohen “the most beautiful man I have ever known,” Wieseltier writes about his decades-long friendship with Cohen in prose so poetic that it would have surely won its subject’s approval. “He lived in a weather of wisdom, which he created by seeking it rather than by finding it. He swam in beauty, because in its transience he aspired to discern a glimpse of eternity: There was always a trace of philosophy in his sensuality,” Wieseltier comments.
