As I say below, this piece was written originally on April 9, 2020 for Sue’s WritePhoto challenge. Today seemed an apt time to revisit it. Thanks to Fandango’s Flashback Friday Challenge

Thanks Sue. Visit her for details on the #writephoto challenge and other great pieces.
I never met Sue Vincent, but when I learned she was ill, I wept. And when I logged into Word Press today (after several days absence) and learned she was gone, I wept again. Tears are blurring my view even now. We often never know the ways we affect other people’s lives but I’m glad I got to say “thank you” before she departed. She made me believe that my silly little poems sometimes mattered. And her work was beautiful until the very end. I hope she knew how much she mattered. If you have not, take the time to read Swift Passage.
