Description

What will I do if I dont have you

Are you still mine

Our hands around a cup of hot chocolate, sweet and warm. Our boots splashing in puddles. The song you sing to me when the sun comes up. This is how we say I love you every day.

But what happens when the person you love is gone Your heart hurts and you miss them, but even though your eyes cant see them anymore and your arms cant hug them, they are still there, still yours to love . . . just in a different way.

Jayne Pillemers lyrical story and Sheryl Murrays sweet illustrations offer gentle comfort and reassurance to anyone who has experienced loss that you still carry those you love with you in the smallest thingsand in your heartforever.

Reviews

"A gentle reminder that those we love and lose can live in our hearts and memories. Each page of Pillemer's debut tale of love and grief weaves a poignant thread by capturing moments in time between people who love one another: parent and child playing together in the morning, friends swinging outside, a grandparent and grandchild enjoying the rain. The gentle, poetic prose is bolstered by Murray's soft illustrations . . .Tender and touching." Kirkus Reviews
