I didn't want to let this day pass without a memory of Mom. She would have been 87 today. Instead, she is infinite and will always be so. (I think she would like that description.) Here is a poem she wrote in her wonderful book of poetry that we only discovered as she was leaving us. As Dad remarked recently in an e-mail: "She was deeper than she showed." There is always an urge to believe that someone who has departed is actually still with us. By reading these words of hers and seeing her handwriting, she seems very close.
