<< Two years seems a long time not to have disposed of reciepts, polos and a

wreck. Everything, every scrap of any kind that belonged to her, was
precious to me. I kept her room intact for at least two years. I kept
everything and still have them in the attic even now after all these years.
The things that seem coincidental are not when deep grief is involved. I did
relate to this poem. So many times in poetry we bring the experience of our
own lives when we read. Many in Pennine Poets have liked and appreciated
poems that left me totally uninvolved.
