In loving memory of Louanne Farrell.

It has been almost a year since you have gone on your journey alone, without me. You were my lighthouse that guided me to your safe harbor. I was mad at God that he took you, because in my eyes, you were so kind, so loving. You helped me be a better man.

Now I’m lost without you. I will always love you, now and forever.
— Harold

“Longing”

Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day, I shall be well again!
For then the night, will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.

Come, as thou cam’st a thousand times,
A messenger from radiant climes,
And smile on thy new world, and be
As kind to others as to me!

Or, as thou never cam’st in sooth,
Come now, and let me dream it truth;
And part my hair, and kiss my brow,
And say: My love! Why sufferest thou?
— Matthew Arnold
