A Letter to Renee

Two years ago you left us.... but not a day goes by when I don't think of you....your warmth, your wit - your sarcasm....your encouragement...your ability to Love....  I miss you, but I feel your presence - like a warm hug.  Thank you for the great gift of your friendship..... I wouldn't be where I am and who I am today without you.

Love, always,

♥ Robin ♥

    Isn't it wonderful one person can have such a dramatic and incredible impact on so many?
    I am thankful that you started your blog, and we met and connected through cyberspace.
    Our little *corner of the world* is so nice to be in!

    XXOO~~

      Danke Vielmals, Liebe Britt! I know how well you understand these sad feelings....but you also realise the beauty of knowing such a wonderful person...that feeling is stronger than the sad one.

    Two years ago, can you believe it? Seems just a few months or so ago we were reading her:
    "har-har-hars" all over blogland.
    Rest in peace sweet Renee, you did your job so well.

      Ah, Babs....it doesn't seem possible, does it? Two years already.... how I miss those *har-hars* and even the *f--ks*! No one said like Renee!!!

      I think she keeps an eye on us all...

      Cris....you would have enjoyed getting to know Renee and her wonderful family. I think of her EVERY time I post - because I wouldn't have met You, Teri or Lynn without her....

      Love,

    Anne, Renee was a unique woman with a huge, caring heart and a great sense of humour! You would have loved her! As I have said before, without her encouragement, I would never have started to blog....and wouldn't have met all the fabulous people I know *out there*! (This includes YOU!)

    Love,

    ♥ Robin ♥

    I know she was important to you and somehow I think I have to thank Renee for meeting you. She connected us.
    I am happy she is remembered with so much love.
