I find "Someone" very moving Leisa, this is the
first of heard of your brother and although
'almost seven years', this poem of yours
lets the reader see it will always as
'seven minutes ago' for a loss as this
[[as too many now tragically know]]
a loss such as this you have so
exquisitely penned. Thank you friend Leisa*)
for sharing! BIG HUGS!
