There’s something heart-wrenching about the passing of a loved one. A dear long-time friend of mine passed away last year. To me, her passing was unexpected in the fact that I did not know she had stage-four pancreatic cancer and only found out about a month prior to her passing. She said she didn’t want anyone to know. I was attempting to get together with her for lunch, but by the time we were at a place to meet up,…..
I was asked by my Rotary Club to read a Valentine’s Poem on Valentine’s Day. In all of the years I have written about love and inspiration, I’ve never written a Valentine’s Poem!

It is a perfect depiction of God’s love reaching down to us saying…..
