I can really picture your grand-daughter so well from these few lines.<br /><br />The 21st century can be pretty hard-edged and cynical so it needs occasional leavening with sentiment especially heartfelt sentiment.<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear you are cursed with RSI.Ben Hurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367615722744097913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153022829143323463.post-60546997774997604602012-03-08T18:00:28.727+00:002012-03-08T18:00:28.727+00:00Hi Kathleen,

I read the one about the raven 7 times that day, before I had to ban myself from reading it an 8th time, then I closed the page, and now I can't find the page where the raven poem is, so I am also mentioning it here. The raven picture also went very well with the raven poem. (Tap on the window goes the beak..."Nevermore"..."Nevermore"...I got started on a period of reading raven poems that day, by your poem.)<br />All best, JohnJohn A. A.
