We went home to Florida to see our families and some special friends a couple of weeks ago. My mom and I talked about how much we love this quote while sitting at her kitchen table one day, and I wanted to share it.
"A ship sails and I stand watching until she fades on the horizon and someone by my side says, "She is gone". Gone where? Gone from my side, that is all; she is just as large as when I saw her. The diminished size and total loss of sight are in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, 'She is gone', there are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up the glad shout. "There she comes!" And that is dying."
On June 4, 2010, my Daddy said, "There he comes!"
... and met his grandson for the first time.
