honoring you...

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

Best friend

Gerry was my best friend going through flight training in Pensacola. Still have many Navy friends and miss him in the group. Think of him often.
