Yeah, I did. That one feels more about love still. Not about being thought about. The closest one I came across was "Dear Baby, I'm Watching Over You" by Carol Casey. I can't seem to find any pages that show parts of the story and the whole story didn't work; however some of the pages did work, such as when the dad was tying his shoes and remembering/thinking of his son doing the same action or the mother at meal time, eating with a picture of her child and wondering what the child was eating.

The bottom line, do I still exist for the other person when I am gone from their lives and if so how, where, when, what does it look like?

And yes, I am a parent and grand parent so I know the answers to these questions are ... of course, the little boy is not so sure.

Does that make sense?

Thanks for the suggestion, taking the time.
Thanks for this!
