I can not begin to tell U how much I miss this lovely lady!!!<\/p>\n
I remember getting this illustration with the heart kisses – after a day of writing bios for some of the Rubba Ducks.<\/p>\n
Claudia always found it so entertaining, how after I would write the bios, everything else I seem to say the rest of the day I would do in a rhyming fashion.<\/p>\n
So she sent this beautiful illustration to me – sharing a little poem she made up of her own – for me!<\/p>\n
Why is it we never seem to real grasp, what we have, when we have it.\u00a0 Then when it’s gone, we struggle and ache on wishing we could have it all back – just even for a moment, to hold it a little tighter, a little longer!<\/p>\n
Claudia did so much for me, Rubba Ducks, Savannah, Brett and Buckles – selflessly!!\u00a0 If I could scream loud enough for her to hear – I would share with her that I loved every moment and am so sorry I didn’t give more when I could.<\/p>\n
I honestly am haunted by the love we had – only wishing I did more – half of what she expressed in all of her stylish, clever, cute, glamorous European ways!<\/p>\n
My\u00a0\u2665<\/span> bows to U my European Queen!!<\/p>\n Happy Friday the 13th!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I can not begin to tell U how much I miss this lovely lady!!!
