Eileen Mannix at Ireland's Cliffs of Moher |
The photo is a silhouette of two people watching a sunset on Sanibel Island.
It’s me and my mother, Eileen.
Tucked into the frame is a prayer card with a green Celtic cross bordered by these words:
“Grieve not ...
“Nor speak of me with tears...
“But laugh and talk of me as though I were beside you.
“I loved you so ...
“‘Twas heaven here with you.”
It will be three years this October since Mom passed at the age of 82, and not a day goes by I don’t read that card.
