I think he just wants everyone to know that he's still with us.

First impressions and all that...
For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

Thank you, Menolly for this beautiful new avatar.
Home for spring break. And tho I'm so happy to be here, the house isn't as bright. I'm missing my mother. The rare morning conversations she and I would have in the breakfast nook over coffee before anyone else was awake. Her smile, her laugh, her hugs as one my one my Dad, brothers and sisters entered the kitchen. Her humming as we all set about making breakfast. The pecks on the cheek my Dad could never resist giving her.
Sigh..

There's a line in the Counting Crows song "Long December"
I can't remember all the times I've tried to tell myself to hold onto these moments as they pass...
If only we could bottle them and relive them whenever we wanted too.

...using the list of generated words, Savor Dam wrote:More than anything, Furls Fire – Tracie -- believed in Love. There are few Watchers who don’t intensely miss her being in our virtual midst. There are those of us who think of her every day, who try to apply to our life what her example taught us, and who pray that her light will shine for all time. Keep her in your thoughts, would you please, dear friends? Take a still moment and let your memory of her touch your soul. Though she is now with her L-rd, our thoughts of her can still help show us the way. Whether it is tonight as we sit up asking for Beorn to recover from his fever or when giving thanks for a more happy occasion, let your prayers be carried upward on the wings of the angel named Tracie.
Thank you, SD.

So, I have begun reading more diligently my mother's journals. And I think I am ready to start putting some entries up here.
I need some opinions though. Mainly, how do you all think it should be done? Should I start a new thread (which is what I was planning to do) and log in under her nickname when I go to post an entry? Or should I just post them under my nickname and post them in here?
She loved you all so much.

I was thinking the same thing. And, I would love input on what to title the new thread, if that is what we do.

When I wrote my poem for Furls (" Benediction") I was listening to this music. I think it's a small hint of her inner beauty and the pure, sweeping grandeur that her spirit must feel now (as well as Stephen's).

Yes
Don't be afraid
close your eyes
lay it all down
don't you cry
can't you see I'm going
where I can see the sun rise
I've been talking to my Angel
and he says that's alright...
