| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 12/29/10 at 06:32 PM This hits pretty close to home Kristina, but in an emotionally good way, as my mom loved to garden. As you may already know, she passed away in October 2009 from Cancer. |

| Posted by Scott Utley on 01/10/11 at 06:37 PM So few lines elucidating such profound depth is such a humble and welcoming awakening. You are truly loved. I mean, I love your work. |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 09/13/12 at 11:43 AM if ever we forget how to cry, this ode will remind us and hydrate in us the need not to hold, stem back tears with our Dutch Boy pride. there are times when it is not the season to be jolly but to cry, so let m flow, let m flow let em flow. |
