Memories of a life.
It brought me to an attic, to my grandmother's, to our old house when we first moved in and found left over things from their life. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteA life saved. The memories, yesterdays regrets, tomorrows hopes. I am glad you stopped by. I appreciate your thoughtful comments.

What a great connection! Thank you for sharing the link! I love how writing connects to so many people.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful list...and poem! I love poetry. Too bad I suck at it. Yours are divine!
