I expect you remember the phrase from ...Hi Sherry:<br /><br />I expect you remember the phrase from a toast in 'Out of Africa'. It is from the poem, 'Shropshire Lads' by A.E. Housman...<br /><br />"With rue my heart is laden<br /> For golden friends I had,<br /> For many a rose-lipt maiden<br /> And many a lightfoot lad.<br /><br /> By brooks too broad for leaping<br /> The lightfoot boys are laid;<br /> The rose-lipt girls are sleeping<br /> In fields where roses fade.<br /><br />It is the perfect title for this post!<br /><br />LynetteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-19312339653245552532010-07-08T11:14:19.299-07:002010-07-08T11:14:19.299-07:00Thank you, Ellie.

It makes me happy that you are following my posts.....never fear, THERE WILL BE MORE, hee hee.......it must have been hard for you when your uncle died, since you were so young. He sounds brave. My son is going thru chemo right now. It amazes me every time we go to the oncology ward, just how positive everyone is.

He<br />struggled so, but kept on being a man of respect! He is so handsome and has an endearing quality! Some people truly come into our hearts and leave footprints on our soul!<br />He was unique...I loved how you painted him. Your writing flows and I wanted to hear more...<br /> <br />Great post~Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070952447277684613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-34915181249303648642010-07-07T23:18:57.353-07:002010-07-07T23:18:57.353-07:00Thanks, Lynette.

Your uncle was a charmer indeed!<br />What a great photo..such regal bearing, and those wonderful eyes. It's a vivid and lovely picture you painted of him waiting in the spirit world for his beloved wife...<br /><br />No wonder few men you've met since have measured up to his standard! Sigh...a most satisfying read altogether...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
