One of my very favorite photos of my beloved Angel Abby.
Today is ... hard.
Today is... in memory of Abby's Gotcha Day from 2005.
It would have been and I suppose it still is
12 years ago.
12 years seems like such a short period,
and yet a long one too.
I don't know how time tricks us like that.
But, I will always remember,
that old cliche about
eyes meeting from across the room
and suddenly,
you just knew your world had changed.
It happened to me and Abby.
I will never ever forget it Abby.
I will always be so eternally grateful that it happened.
I will always be grateful and happy for you.

In French, I’ve read, you don’t say I miss you.
In French, I’ve read, you don’t say I miss you.
You say Tu me manques, which means you are missing from me.
Oh I'm a bit teary eyed. I guess the French say it best. Be happy that Abby happened in your life.

That is indeed a wonderful portrait of your girl. Twelve years can go by so quickly; any period of time can. So much can be done in that time, and so much left undone.
ReplyDeleteThe love goes on, no matter the time.
