Oh your dear heart, Blessings to you & your daughter & her birthday in the stars. Thank you for sharing . I sat under a tree in the early morning Easter light and pondered on all my Easters . My daughter died at six and I too was listening to the bells ringing and children playing. I burst into tears my heart just exploded and so we continue. Thank you for your continuation , Thank you that I came upon your offering here. And yes like you say " Always yesterday"

Made me cry Wendy. Wonderful poem. One thing I feel sure of is that she would be proud of her mum. Sending a hug. X

Memories can rise like stars in loving hearts - a star is there, somewhere, twinkling, that you can both share
