And I remember every detail of the day he died. And I remember<br />him telling me that he loved me, and that is what carries on. The love of both of<br />my parents is with me and inspires me. No they were not perfect, but they gave<br />me that amazing gift.<br /><br />XOXOXOXOXO BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-71948235312744142542016-09-13T21:10:40.343-07:002016-09-13T21:10:40.343-07:00Hi Verna,
