Two woman, Anita Holzberg and Ann Wainwright met over the internet with Bill Costley,
their common friend, whose wife Carolin had been Ann's good friend. Starting in
June '09, Anita sent a Cupcake poem to Ann's website cakecakecake, after seeing
the photo of cupcakes. The poem was about her grandson's first birthday party. Ann
liked that and it was the start of a wonderful exchange of poems from Anita to Ann and
Ann with color, photos, and lay-out savvy, presented them to the blog. Now, in 2010,
the two women so alike in spirit and interests, have started BetweenFriends, a new blog
site where they can combine ideas about their worlds. Ann lives in Northern UK
(Teesside). Anita lives in Northern California, Sunnyvale, (Silicon Valley where all the
computers are.) We share our lives on this blog and hope you will comment and share
yours too, dear readers and enjoy the "ride".

You never said "Good-bye" - Anita Holzberg

Ludicrous remarks
   devil make care moments
I hold your hand
I am here for you Now
I hear you breathe
I always listened for that shallow heart
I am back
  at the gate, next to the wheel chair
       next to the bed
              next to you

Heart beats like mountains
  strong, sturdy
         You hardly speak
body language says volumes

I hold on
  you never said "good-bye"
You never uttered farewell

You weren't checking out
You brought yourself back

I am witness.
