  Thirty years ago today Janice, my first wife, passed away from Ovarian cancer. Each anniversary I toss wildflowers into a stream or river. All things flow to the sea where her ashes rest.

  Sitting at the cabin reading Billy Collins and the last line of the third stanza of his poem Obituaries just pierced me through and through. “Who has left the shape of air walking in their place.” #Poetry
