Jan 26, 2009

It is foggy and cold outside.
The damp air hanging
like string less kites in the air.
I have felt this feeling before.
Many years ago.....in Normandy.
Where droplets cling to you
like tiny diamonds.
I should like to go back to Normandy soon,
in the spring.
While walking today,
I remembered that I had a few images of
beloved Normandy.
Please forgive me....
The beach was deserted
on such a cold day.
Omaha Beach,
Is one of the most amazing places in the world.
To me, it embodies the spirit of
unselfish sacrifice.
The village restaurant where we stopped for lunch....
after such a day.
We were welcomed with warmth
and served the most amazing meal....
(not to mention great wine)
After lunch we visited the American Cemetery.
Jami was active duty then.
She was pensive and ....
droplets clung to us.
Like tiny diamonds.

Love you.
Me
