Resurrection

You never know how far your words will go.

I just read a comment sent to me way back on October 25, 2010 and it still brings tears to my eyes.  That thot was very special to me and to receive such a kind response touches me greatly.

The thot itself does too because it reminds me of a great person in my life, one who shared my taste in books and poetry and desserts and even travel.  A rare woman indeed and one I cherished.

I don't know what made me flip over to look at old comments today, but I'm glad I did.  It opened a flood of memories.  We didn't always agree on things, but we were always agreeable with each other.

Life is rich with differences, both she and I would agree on that, but sometimes it is just nice to have a kindred spirit close by.  I miss her.  There may never be another woman as compatible with me as she was.

Resurrecting old words is a poor substitute for the woman she was, but the memories they bring are warm and sweet and I'm glad I stumbled on them.
