Thank you for your well-wishes, Flickr friends! Things are beginning to shape up! :)

When last we touch

we rarely know

this time’s the last

you’re soon to go

But since we’ve touched

you’ll always be

a special light

inside of me

Farewell dear friend

Beth's final image was, fittingly, a tribute to another: www.flickr.com/photos/61357175@N08/15681796280/

In calm or stormy weather;

To cheer one on the tedious way,

To fetch one if one goes astray,

To lift one if one totters down,

To strengthen whilst one stands.”

(Christina Rossetti, Goblin Market and Other Poems)

I know in my bones that I came to live in Second Life to meet the sister of my heart, Gidgette Adagio. I love her as I love my RL sisters. You, my Gidge! ❤️
