I always love hearing about Forrest—and the memories of his and Louise’s special friendship had gone into the background, for me. Brought a smile. He was a treasure ❤️

I’m glad that story brought Louise back into your memory, Debra. She was a trip. Really special for Forrest and a lot of other people, I think. Thank you.

Please keep writing about Forrest. I love keeping him in my thoughts. We all talk about our children, no matter their age so why can't you! I loved this story of Forrest and Louise - such a beautiful story of friendship.

Oh Bar--I'd forgotten about dear Louise until just reading about her and her relationship with Forrest. I didn't know about that. Thank you for retrieving a memory of Louise and how sweet to know she and he loved each other so sweetly. Louise was someone whose kindness was palpable. I felt it every time she assisted me in the store. I'm so glad you keep writing about Forrest. Love & Blessings.

She was a treasure and became a legend, didn’t she? I’ll bet she was friends with everybody. Big giant heart and so funny. She wore a hundred bangles up her arm that jingled. What a character.

I remember Louise. And Sunflower before it got fancy. Love going back in time and seeing Forrest there with you 💞

Yes, before it got fancy… before so much got fancy. They were good days, Sarah. Hard, but good.

Thank you, Julie. If this is the Julie I think it is, I wish you’d met Forrest…you’re sort of meeting him now. ❤️

The rocks and pebbles that we gift others and leave behind. Small memories of ourselves that tell and retell of our treasured past.

I love all the gifts and trinkets I have. They mean nothing to anyone but me but they mean a whole lot to me. Thanks as always for reading, Doris. See you anon as someone somewhere used to say!

We will never, ever tire of hearing about your beloved Forrest. In many ways he has become OUR Forrest as well.
