I heard from one of my very best friends in the world, in the early hours of this morning, that her father passed away yesterday.
Unfortunately, these days, we live in different countries. I have felt very helpless for most of today. I wanted to jump in the car and head to the airport, or send some ridiculously large but possibly meaningless bunch of flowers. Nothing I thought of seemed to be either possible, or enough.
So, for my very dear friend, who hopefully might get to read this at some point in time, I wrote you a little poem, entitled Cherished. I hope it brings you some comfort.
I am giving you a “Cyber-Hug”, as I know, like you, that us girls need our Dads.
I wish you all the love that can possibly travel across cyberspace.
