~ She loves Austin~
I do understand, as you know,
what it is like to be lonely
for a child you cannot reach.
There may be many, many reasons
for that un-access, but, no matter,
such separation is still painful.
And especially for an old friend.
In many cases, there is hope;
in some cases, there is none.
But we have these gifts lent by God
in His wisdom. Young ones
with so much life ahead of them.
And older, weaker ones, still for us
to love to the maximum.
There are limits to life, but not to love.
God arranges for certain hearts to meet
for certain times,
for uncertain times.
Our loved-ones seem like angels,
sent at perfect times: God's times.
As though all angels had to serve God
for a period of Time on earth
by becomimg what humans call
"Father", Mother", "Spouse", "Son', Friend".
to learn the deepest compassion,
& the meaning of Life, Love, and Loss.
Memory is sometimes God's sweeest gift.
Gee, that was nice and thoughtful, Teddy.
