This Blog is for my Zaz, Cassandra Dawn (Ohrmund) Shoplas, who passed away July 31, 2009. She was and still is the love of my life and my forever. I will be posting poems and pictures about her here. I am currently engaged in writing a book about her as well and will post excerpts and progress reports occasionally as I go.

 

"You can dance

every dance with the boy sitting next to you

And you know, baby girl

you can go do anything you want to do,

but don't forget who's taking you home

and in whose arms your gonna be

darling, save the last dance for me"

 

The song I played out under the stars the night after the funeral, while six grown men stood and wept.
