we cannot take a car. nor a boat. scooters aren’t even valid. where we go after we are gone is forever. we can bring love. memories of laughter and light. mental pictures of joy, joy, joy. possessions stay here. when it is we will float upon the entry of our souls to whereverafter weContinue reading “give B E F O R E you leave”
