Special Thanks to the wonderful staff at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville for their care and compassion. I am standing on the seashore. A ship spreads her sails to the morning breeze, and starts for the ocean. She is an object of beauty, and I stand watching her until at last she fades on the horizon, and someone at my side says, “She is gone”. “Gone where?” “Gone from my sight, that is all. The loss of sight is in me, not in her, and just at the moment when someone says she is gone, there are others watching for her coming. Other voices take up the glad shout “Here she comes!”
