I love you like a flower loves the sunshine and the rain Not too much to drown you but Never to little to leave you feeling lonely May you always know I’m here for you You need never wonder or doubt  I love you in the simplest of ways and  For reasons that never need explaining  Only Because you are you

Google review of Apollo Flame Bistro - Brevard Rd

Google review of Apollo Flame Bistro - Brevard Rd https://maps.app.goo.gl/sVDo17Uz9mA4zCpm8?g_st=in 11/18/25 Update Another special evening in Asheville. Winter Lights at the NC Arboretum preceded by my girlfriend and I pausing for a great dinner at Apollo Flame. Adina was exceptionally cheerful and knowledgeable about the menu pointing out all of her favorites. The restaurant became extremely busy, she had a large party of guests to attend to and yet she made time to answer our every question and provide excellent service to complement our delicious food. Apollo Flame will always be our first choice in Asheville. I stop in here every time I go to the Arboretum which is almost every week. The food is great but the desserts are Divine 😇 Pete 🤓 and Zeke 🐶

Tree of lights - Four Seasons Hospice November 14, 2025 - Today I Gave Your Coat Away

Image
  Today I gave your coat away The closets are cluttered and this you know Go through that stuff, It’s got to go. Lauren won’t wear it, and certainly not you… Today I found your jacket too. It’s cold out there and people need. Give it to someone else to lead Your shoes are gone, They walked away. There’s no reason all these things should stay. I know you’re right, You always are Let’s not argue about this anymore  I’ll put all this stuff into the car. I’ll go downtown, It’s not too far. There are blouses and sweaters and belts and such But when you really look at it, It’s not all that much There’s no good reason all these things should stay. Today I gave your coat away I want to Say Thank You I want to say thank you to my wife Tess for whom this poem was written for the 46 years of marriage that we shared and to our daughter Lauren who I affectionately call Tess Junior To Everyone in The Hospice organization for being there for my Mom and for Tess and f...

Tree of lights text to Lauren

  Jennifer is going with me tonight. I think that shows her courage and maturity. She knew Tess and was close to her, as close as Tess would let her. She tells of when she first met Tess that Tess said, Oh, you’re one of those woo woo people 🤣 which she said in good humor and affection. So Jennifer will be there for Mom as well as in support for me. I made more donations to Hospice in Tess’s name and designated her as a Veteran, which she was. She served in the United States Air Force as a nurse. She never made a big deal about it but she did talk about it sometimes;about going to the officers club and how the pilots were the big wheels that the girls wanted to meet. She also pointed out that these soldiers, real soldiers, were not big talkers or hawks, they were just doing their jobs, as was she. I believe Tess met Rich while in Texas. I think it was a temporary assignment but they met, got married and then discharged when Mom got pregnant. Tess’s best friends were Lou and Pansey...
