  Very tender poem. Made me think about my son who has been gone now 11 years, but it feels like yesterday.

  I pictured my family gravestone and the sixty years of Christmas lights and piled up presents. I could almost smell my mother's dozens of homemade apple pies that were being eaten in many homes besides our own. Thank you Bobbie for showing so beautifully that loved ones may be gone but they are never forgotten.

  Dear Bobbie,
  
  Your poem brought tears to my eyes. That is exactly what I did and what I said when I visited my son Christopher's grave on his birthday, December 17 and again on Christmas Day. Thank you for expressing it so beautifully.

  I appreciated this poem so much more, having lost both my mom and dad now, the family went thru their things today to divide. Have a great year in 2010. Cathy Lou
