Foundation of Love

 

 

 

Pleasant memories abound. Warm, fun-filled days with us you gave. The wind blowing the red clay, chasing the wildcats, and being with you. Quiet, strong, filled with love are my memories of you. Walking on the farm hand in hand I never felt safer.

You gave me a point to return to, a foundation of family. It’s not just a name but a way to live. Loyalty to the one’s you love.

I am filled with pride when I think of you.

Even today when I see no direction to turn I call you name and your quiet, strong, gentle presence engulfs me again.

You anchored our family in times of strife, and gently guided the new ones into this world.

You’ve been gone over 4 years and I still miss you so.

The one thing I’ve learned over this time is, our anchor is not gone, you’ve only changed places.
