    Dear Linda, how was it that you managed to say in words what many of us feel and hope for in your poem – The Dash. I sent a copy to my brother who lost his wife to a brain tumour just 4 weeks ago. It was not used publicly but he often reminds me how it has sustained him through the darker moments. Your words are inspirational.

    I found this poem when I was sitting thinking about my lovely Mum, who sadly left our world only 4 weeks ago due to COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) at the age of just 71. I wish I had found this poem earlier as it reflects how special that dash really is. Thank you for sharing this. I am so grateful. X

      Dear Karen,

      I am so sorry for the loss of your lovely Mum. My brother lost his wife to a brain tumour around 4 weeks ago. He like you and me have been sustained by Linda’s poem. Who would have thought that someone could write so beautifully and so appropriately about a DASH?

      I sincerely hope you are OK, it will take a while I know, but that poem sustains me and I know it does for my brother too. May your God bless you. x

    How true is that, thanks.
