“It’s hard to write about the details of Bob and me, but without Bob, very little of me remains.”

Thank you
I was jaded and getting harder.
My body mimicked my emotional state.
My heart was black and hard.
Then I saw the lighthouse,
The one with the man looking out,
Waves crashing around him.
And long before I could see his face
I knew him.
I love knowing him again!
