    Thank you all.

    I'm so truely proud of myself and especially proud of Reid for whispering those words into my ear. I know it was him who helped me write it.

    More and more I believe that he is here with us. Watching over us.

    A few days after I had him we all went down to the local river as it was hot day. I had the camera with me and was just messing about taking random photos. I was standing in the river with the water up to my knees and this bright, iridescent blue Dragonfly flew right out in front of me and landed on a branch in front of me. Its sat there for a while and then flew away. I believe this was Reid telling me that he is here and he's ok.

    After I wrote the poem lastnight, DP sent me a text to say that a Dragonfly had flown up to his window (at 11.30pm!) hovered for a bit and flew away. He came to visit again tonight

    I know it might sound a little corny but its significant to us I guess.


    Thanks again for all your lovely comments.

    I hope those of you who know where the emotions come from when writing a poem like that can take some solace from it.
    xx
