There are many in our lives we wonder why we have met.  I have known you for some years now, and yet it stil amazes me that we are so close from such a long distance.  Halfway  around the world you live, yet we still stay in touch and have spoken on the phone. You came into the chat room I was in and we begen this wonderful friendship together. You've touched my life in ways that I have trouble defining.  What matters to me now is that you know how very much you mean to me, and how very close I have felt over the years to you.  Never fear Sammy, I will forever be inside, a part of you......

Your  enchantment in a lonely wood, the fight and color of a rainbow trout, my in-basket empty, and a good book, binoculars fixed on a strange new bird, Sadie's point, and a covey of quail, the end of a six mile run in the rain, blue slope and soft snow, fast run, no fall, a dovetail joint without a gasp. Grandchildren coming in the view, the same ones leaving in a day or two. And life. 'til what rhymes best with breath, takes me with all things I share with you.....

May your heart forever soar to other soul's & touch them as you have touched me.
