I just found out about the loss of Tony and want to express my condolences to Lou & Jerry. He was very special to everyone he met and he holds a very important place in my heart forever. Words can't express how wrong it is for a parent to bury a child.I send lots of love and hugs and laughter as you think of all the great times you got from your boy, who grew into a wonderful man.

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.
