I'll still blog but I'll be slowing down a bit. If you don't mind I'd like to add you to my morning blogline reads.

They literally lived near the beach in SC and loved being together there. When I was a child, every year we spent 2 weeks at the beach in NJ. The beach was and is a very special place to be, for me, and my family as well. My dad passed away 3 years ago, and my mom still has his ashes. Her plan is to fly up in a helicopter and scatter them above the ocean and she wants the same thing done with hers when she is gone. She still talks to him as if he's there...and eventually I know they'll both be together and visit the beach and the ocean often. I love your poem!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564804316692513750.post-85480654337158383622008-07-22T13:31:00.000-04:002008-07-22T13:31:00.000-04:00I love it.

What an awesome thought.
