Sandee, I know that you are way behind in your official duties, and I won't take up too much of your time. I was wondering if you could do me a favor, and let my baby know that the wild strawberries are in bloom again in our yard. You see, my Linus loved to go for walks around the house and find the wild strawberries that grow here. We always knew when he came to a sudden stop, that he had found a snack. By the time he was done with his walk, he would be tired, and have red lips from the berries he ate. He has only been gone almost 3 months (4-1-4), but it feels like a lifetime already. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him, and the tears start flowing. That's what happened yesterday, when I was out in the yard with the dog. I went to pick up her stick, and I saw a patch of wild strawberries. Without even realizing it, I had picked one to bring in the house for Linus, and then remembered that he is gone. And then the tears started... I hope he has his own berry patch at the bridge. Please tell him that his dad still loves him, talks to him and misses him Jim [Posted in FML issue 4547]
