The knot has been tied with loving care!

In tribute to you; all my lovely, warm and kindhearted friends, I offer you the following poem (not from my own pen, but from ee cummings). Each of you should have a copy of these words to keep and remember because each and every one of you is more precious than gold, diamonds or indeed any other rich resource which the earth may hold forth to tantalise us. You and I shared, still share, and will hopefully continue to share something so unique. But we few were the pioneers so to speak. When one of us cried on this site - there was another one there with words to soothe and comfort. When one of us shook with the terror of having cancer - there was another one there to hold us tight until the tremors passed. When one of us screamed from the fear of the unknown - there was another one there with a light which lit up the darkest of corners. When one of us had a dream, a race to run maybe - there were cries of; "YOU CAN DO IT"! I CARRY YOUR HEART WITH ME ee cumminngs i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) i fear no fate (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant, and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the sould can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart) I rasied my glass on my wedding day to all of you, because you are the bravest bunch of poeple it has been my good fortune to know. May all your dreams come true, may each of your days be filled with (some) laughter - and as the song says; I HOPE YOU DANCE!! love from Kate and Mick xxxxxxxxxxx
