I just learned of Jim's death yesterday, at my brother in law's memorial golf outing and you had already left Tommy, so I did not get to tell you how sorry I was. I went to gradeschool with Jim and Tom and I remember him fondly. My sympathy to the entire family.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
