In Memoriam for John William (Biddy) BRIDSON

In the New Year, never forget to thank your past years because they
enabled you to reach today! Without the stairs of the past, you cannot arrive at the future.
We wouldn’t be here today without you, never forgotten and loved always.

There’s a little place within my heart
That is with me everyday,
A place where all my memories
Are softly tucked away.

It is the perfect place
At special times for me to go,
For, words could not explain
How very much I miss you so.

And now that once again
Christmas time has come around,
It’s where the sweetest memories
And thoughts of you are found.

My Bear,
You are the most precious person I have ever loved. You make me whole in ways I never dreamed. You are like a star that I can’t look away from. You are my light, and I adore you.

Not a single day
passes by that’s my
mind isn’t filled with
phenomenal
memories of your
presence here on
earth. On your
birthday today, I wish
you a sunny day in
paradise.

Hope lies in dreams,in
imagination, and in the
courage of those who dare to
make dreams into reality.

HOPE
fill us with the strength to
stay present, toabide in the
flow of mercy no matter
what outer storms assail us.

Someone I once loved gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift.

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear the hardship of today.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched…they must be felt with the heart.

You know someone is very special to you when days just don’t seem right without you being here.
