I Did As I Promised

          



         Daniel,  This year in November it will be eleven years since your sudden and surprising passing. I still remember that within a week of that passing, we had a conversation in dream where you told me that you were fine, but that you had to leave Earth and that you had stayed as long as you could. Longer, in fact, than had originally been planned. So much sorrow washed over me then. There were so many things I wanted to show you about the world. There were so many experiences I wanted you to have. I also wanted to watch you grow and see how you would find your way and succeed upon the Earth.  In that same conversation, you told me, summarizing here, that I was to watch your siblings and your Dad, and take care of your animals until they made their passage back to you.  I have tried to be faithful to the promises I made then. There have also been some animals the farm has acquired after your passing, and I hope as they pass, you and my Dad can ensure that they are loved until I eventually arrive.

             I have fulfilled those promises.  I do what I can, and the new joys you promised have come as you said they would. However, you should know that each day I think of you. Each day you are missed. Almost each day we speak of something you did or said, and you are remembered very fondly.  Your nephew enjoys looking through the items in your room. I have occasionally given him some of the smaller things I didn't think you would mind.  I am keeping things, for the moment, that you enjoyed particularly.

             I miss you.........and yes I know, you love me more.
