as long as u think of them at times just like they were with u now, they will always be with u and when ur times come u will be with them forever. The loss of both of my fathers, natural and the one that raised me is on my mind all the time and I rely on them to be the best person I can be and to help others when I can, things that they did all their lives.

It's a lovely poem. Thank you for sharing it.

Simply beautiful. It has been over 26 years since I lost my Dad. He was a mere 57 years old. He literally gave his life for the things he loved, his family. He was a gentle man. He was a giant of a man. He was my best friend. He was so, so, proud of me. He was an immigrant who came from Denmark at the age of 2. I will never be able to fill the shoes he walked it. Thank you for unlocking some of the fondest memories that I shall ever have. We may outwardly grieve, inwardly we love.

even thow you screwed it up still brings tears to my eyes and a heavy heart...................thank you i needed to read that again ..................love mom aka helenpoker

Kenny,

There has to be a way to increase the blog space for things like this.

II lost my little brother 5 years ago when he was 17. I have been speaking to this woman online on one of the forums I use for work for about 2 years. When her son Jacob, 17 was killed 2 days before Thanksgiving I was personally touched and felt her pain. It also was the holidays and it is still hard for me and my mom too so it gave me some hope to help someone going thru the same pain. I posted a poem from the only card my family got that meant anything to us. I posted it up for her and I wante

no no no it is all screwed up not the way I posted it
