I Do Not Forget

This was one of the most beautiful gifts I have ever received.  The photo does not do justice to the beautiful colors of this tile, which is on my writing desk in my office.

A personal note to someone specific: If I had a way to clean up all this mess, I would gladly go back in time to do it.  If I could go back further, I would try to remedy it all somehow. I, a writer by trade, have no words to express the remorse and sadness I feel, over everything that created this chasm.  Believe me when I say I wish I could go back in time to erase it, to make it over, to take action before it was all too late. Please do not take anything I said in anger to heart. Of this, we are both at fault, like so many who slip their reason in a time of great suffering. Neither of us meant this hurt.

I love you always, and always, every day, I miss you.  Perhaps one day you might come across this, like a message in a bottle.  Please know that message is true, now, and always.

Love and light, Joanie
