29 February Leap Day

This is the same photo

As 28 February

Except...

You can see the Sedona-ness

In the background

And you can really imagine

That I, Gracie Mae

Will BE your personal 

Tour Guide-ette

To the wonders

And the majesty

Of

My first place I called

Home

Happy Leap Day

Love,

Gracie

28 February

If I could

I would 

Stand upright

Walking BEside you

BEing the One True Friend

I really AM to you in your extraordinary Life

27 February

It does my heart good

Gracie girl

To remember you happy

Feeling better

More yourself

Which you seem to DO

So easily

Naturally

Even if

Or when

Things aren't quite going

Your way.

26 February

Seeing you this way

In your full-on "filet" position

Though it's from several years ago

Makes me smile wider

Relax a little bit more

Knowing

Your problems of the Now

Are on the mend

And YOU are, too.

25 February

I love your way of spreading out

"Filet of Grace" style

or, as Gary called it

"Splatterbutt" style

It looks so natural

Always has

And it always makes me

Laugh!!!

24 February

Oh Goodness Gracie!!

You DID indeed LOVE

When Dry Creek

Was Very Wet

And muddy

And I let you just BE

You swam

You rolled

You ran in circles

You dove in

You ran along the hard bank

And if you could have used your words

They'd have been

Sprinkles of delightedness

Wrapped inside giggles...

23 February

Oh yes

Special Mud Mask indeed!!

Look how happy you were

Those days

When Dry Creek

BEcame

Mud Creek

And I let you

Go BE a dog

Makes me smile

Just remembering...
