Cryptoquote Solved – 03/29/23

“If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart; I’ll stay there forever.”   —   A.A. Milne

(A beautiful, rhyming bit of poetry from “Winnie the Pooh”.  My mother was a voracious reader, but unfortunately she wasn’t big on reading to her children.  At least not that I can remember.  And I have a very good memory.  So, I wasn’t really exposed to “Winnie the Pooh” until the Disney features and certain neighborhood friends.  I remember thinking that the name was kind of stupid.  Who calls someone “the Pooh”???  Pooh is something that you wipe and flush, not something that you call someone!  But I grew to love “the Pooh” – Winnie that is – and I kind of equate the story with my favorite childhood song:  “Puff the Magic Dragon”.  They’re both about a child and his stuffed/imaginary friend, and how we tend to put those things aside as we grow up.  To this day, when I hear Peter Paul & Mary singing “Puff the Magic Dragon” it can bring a tear to my eye.  Both of my parents are gone now, as are other relatives and friends, but I will always keep them in heart.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
