Stories Collected While Living in France
How I wish I could sit by your side,
Hold you hand,
Smile into your eyes, and to
Have your breath moisten my fearful heart.
How I wish I could
Climb upon your lap and wrap your steadfast goodness about me,
and have your laughter reassure me,
Again and again,
Though far from you I stand, feeling your love lap against me from a distant sea.

Heartfelt, beautiful words…anything I add will only spoil them.
I can see why this is your favourite quilt, it’s just lovely.
I don’t speak english very well and I don’t understand everything !!! but…je me régale depuis un certain jeudi soir 23 novembre 2006 où j’ai atterri chez toi par hasard…quel bonheur !!! quelle délectation de découvrir ton univers…tes photos sont à tomber et je devine parfois des mots si beaux…une âme de fée. Merci beaucoup
“How I wish…”
All good things will come to you, Corey
xxx 🙂
Beautiful
I too am missing many loved ones as well including the ones in Heaven……..
God bless you my darling.
Your quilt is gorgeous and so are you.
Adorable!
Love you Sugar Plum
Love Jeanne
Tender thoughts to you Corey.
Tis the season to want to be with family. Amazing how far words can stretch and touch.
A quilt might be a cozy friend, but it doesn’t come close to a hug from a dad, right? 🙂
beautiful… hugs Corey
I truly think that deep and abiding love transcends time and space. Close your eyes and sit quietly, both you and the object of your love will feel the tender innocence of those emotions.
And no matter what the future brings, this will always be so.Blessings to your and all your family.
Beautifully said and haven’t we all felt like that over and over again — know that hugs are coming your way everyday even from what seems like an impossible distance.
i had time for one reading this morning before heading out to work…and knew that it had to be yours…and now i know why…those beautiful words…the beautiful quilt and sweet little chair to snuggle into…i will carry these warmest words with me today…xo…annie
one more little note…my daddy is also away…only physically though…his humor and love of life surround me every day! thx for the kind reminder to watch out for his spirit today…as i am rushing around the frenzied airport travelers…
Oh, Corey, your heart is large! How I wish I could curl up in your quilt, share a perfect cup of tea and let a little of your wisdom brighten my Chistmas spirit! Lovely to do it here, on your blog. Many thanks for sharing!
I know just what you mean. Keeping him in my heart.
I miss my dad. And this year for some reason that hole in my heart seems bigger than normal.
Thanks for another wonderful post.
Oh, yes! I read your words and feel the longing gnaw in the pit of my stomach. Tears well in my eyes. Beautifully crafted post. Doesn’t a favorite comforting blanket/quilt bring out those yearnings?
Absolutely lovely!
May the spirit of Christmas wrap you with your many blessings!
hugs NG
That’s a beautiful photo, Corey. This holiday season brings me a few bittersweet memories along with the merriment of friends and happy phone calls with my family.
You seemed to have tapped in to how my heart feels right now.
XOXO
and yes, with comment probs on blogger I will add them from emails.
Corey, I hope this doesn’t bode bad… Is he failing? I wrap you in my quilt and pray all is well…
soft soothing colors, corey. just what I would expect to see in your private space.
“feeling your love lap against me from a distant sea” – that is so beautiful
I hope your father is well as the holidays quickly approach.
Dear One,
I hope your Papa is ok. he knows that although you are miles away, you are with him in thought.
Take care C.
I am litting an extra purple candle for you tonight Carol, and pray that you will be wrapped in soft angle wings.
Lovely. And sad.
I was googling “sacred collage” today and one of the first finds was you, my dear Corey. 🙂 A wonderful surprise and a beautiful piece that I was happy to see again.
xoxo
beautiful words and thoughts from a beautful lady…wishing you the best this holiday season!
hugs,

do you know how much healing, hope and insight you have brought to me – a girl who never had the pleasure and nourishment of a loving father’s company or guidance? Over time, this happened, but today’s post crystallized the awareness for me.
I don’t even have a picture of my father, but I could easily enough make some kind of symbolic little quilt?
Thinking of you Corey.
What a wonderful way to send love over the ocean…
I can feel the silky softness of the quilt.
sending you loving thoughts your way…i hope your father is doing okay…
i’m happy that you received your little goody parcel from little ol’ moi…
hugs & love,
mary ann xo
beautiful words from a loving daughter… this made me think of your father. i will devote my evening meditation to him and to you.
Your blog always makes me smile 🙂
Trying to get caught up Corey – lovely posts all. Big hugs and cuddly quilts to you! (Hopefully in conjunction with electric power and heat!)
Your sweet words warms the winter heart. May the love of your father wrap you tight in that beautiful quilt of yours. You are sending a love that extends far beyond words across the seas.
Corey,
Soft, tender words to caress beautiful memories of past embraces.
Merry Christmas.

Distance & miles between loved ones is especially hard at Christmas. I could easily wrap myself up, cacoon style in that quilt and spend a day:) Sending you lots o love C!
This poem made me want my mom.
Again, so beautiful!!
