Birthday Memoriam for Joanna RICE

Thinking of you this Christmas time along with every day that passes. You always made it special & I will always love you. Much missed amongst the madness x

You would have been twenty thousand days old today. What a thought, when 15 seconds in your presence was enough, is enough, to sweeten the lives of everyone who ever knew you. Rave on silently, my only one x

Forgive me Jo for being so distracted lately, too many troubles but no excuses. I thought last night of some old lines that made me think of you as so often in certain remembrances. "Yet my love for her in its fullness she herself even did not know..." And still, & always, you are around in the days to come x

2300 days without you. No matter what the calendar says I always hear "Love's dumb cry defying change" & think of you as you were, as you are.

Seventeen years on. In silent sorrowful tribute, some familiar words for today. "Still your face that I keep within my heart,/ the sound of your voice that I keep within my mind,/ the days of September rising in my dreams..." Love you x

Six years today your funeral. Among the old remembrances again. "The face I see that all falls short of since." You are always here, only a heartbeat away. Love you always love.

2200 days since you left us. Countless times & scenes revisited, countless memories built & cherished. Until the day we may meet again. And like an endless light in light x

Today we will celebrate evey moment you was with us I truly miss you joanna having a laugh with Katie having your first hugs with Liam they will always love you x
