I read this beautiful poem the other night and was touched by it. It speaks to a part of one's heart where many never go. A child go on to God, sharing this teddy bear with another to follow. What a wondrous thread of life and love written and expressed here. When one has touched our lives and then goes on, they leave an indelible mark and have increased our capacity to love. Bless you Dennis and Suzi as you continue with your life. . . two people but one life in God. . . the circle of love grows and continues.
