How could there not be, when the loved person is no longer with you? I admire your strength, Phyllis. I know you will always love your Otto - that much is obvious - and it must be so hard to carry on without him. *Hugs*Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00496924033221866102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626599073073459043.post-51695612556980037832009-08-19T01:04:24.729-07:002009-08-19T01:04:24.729-07:00Dear Granny Smith!

What a beautiful gathering, in word and deed.<br />The Woody song reminded me, my father always asked that I sing another of Woody's songs, 'So long, it's been good to know you', which I did and joined by many. A friend of mine wrote some new verses to reflect dad's life. (we felt Woody would've approved :^)<br />Much love to you.
