Gone but Not Forgotten

Daddy,

The years we've shared have been full of joy.
The memories we've made will go on and on.
I haven't stopped crying since you went away,
and I've asked God time and time why couldn't you stay.
You lit up my life, my hopes, and my dreams.
You've opened my eyes to see what it all means.
So now that you're gone how can I forget;
Because you were the greatest out of all I have met

A Better Place

He’s in a better place right now
Than he’s ever been before;
All pain is gone; he’s now at rest;
Nothing troubles him anymore.

It’s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.

We know we’ll reconnect with him
At the end of each life’s road;
We’ll see him cherished face again
When we release our earthly load.

Sending my warm love xxxxxxxxxx

Daddy

DAD

How do I put on paper,
The feeling I have inside,
The heartache and the emptiness,
When the Dad I loved has died.
Time has not healed my heartache,
Or dimmed my silent tear,
Nor will it dim the memory,
Of a Dad I loved so dear.
I think of you in silence,
I talk about you too,
Nothing can replace you,
Nothing ever will.

A Poem.....................

This was sent to me and I want to added it here as it offered some comfort!!!

To my Family

Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart

I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night

I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you

And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever in my heart

from the ones that you have lost!

Hugs & love

I always took for granted what I thought I'd
never lose, because I never thought it would
happen, until I heard the news.

They say you were chosen for his garden, his
precious hand picked bouquet, "God really
needed him that why he couldn't stay"

Saying goodbye is never easy, but it was
even harder to say it to you.
So today Jesus are you listening in your home up above?

Would you please go and find my Daddy and give
him my hugs and love.

Bettie

If I knew

If I knew it would be the last time
that Id see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
Id hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would videotape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I would spare an extra minute or two
to stop and say I love you,
instead of assuming you would know I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well Im sure youll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely theres always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything right.

There will always be another day
to say I love you,
and certainly theres another chance
to say our Anything I can dos?

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
Id like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget,
tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike.
And today may be the last chance you get
to hold your loved one tight.

So if youre waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
youll surely regret the day
that you didnt take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss,
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
whisper in their ear,
tell them how much you love them
and that youll always hold them dear.

Take time to say Im sorry,
please forgive me,thank you, or its okay.
And if tomorrow never comes,
youll have no regrets about today.

A Poem to Grandpa

Dear Jajja William,

This is a poem to remember all the great things
you have done for all of us. We can't thank you

or all the others like Aunt Eva & Maama Betty we
wouldn't be here today, but you did for that we
are grateful.

As the wind whipped your soul it hurt us too,
so good bye bu, in the back of our minds you'll
be remebered forever more. As you lay resting
don't worry for all your children are in good hands.

May God be with you!

In The Light

´*•.¸(*•.¸♥ ¸.•*´)¸.•*´ ´*•.¸

♥~ In The Light ~♥

A shadow of joy flickered; it is me.
I told you I wouldn't leave.
My spirit is with you.
My memories, my thoughts are
imbedded deep in your heart.
I still love you.

Do not for one moment think
that you have been abandoned.
I am in the Light.

In the corner,
in the hall,
the car,
the yard --
these are the places I stay with you.

My spirit rises every time you pray for me,
but my energy comes closer to you.
Love does not diminish,
it grows stronger.

I am the feather that finds you in the yard,
the dimmed light that grows brighter
in your mind,

I place our memories for you to see.
We lived in our special way,
a way that now has its focus changed.

I still crave your understanding and
long for the many words of prayer
and good fortune for my soul.
I am in the Light.

As you struggle to adjust without me,
I watch silently.
Sometimes I summon up all the strength
of my new world
to make you notice me.
Impressed by your grief,
I try to impress my love
deeper into your consciousness.

As you should,
I call out to the Heavens for help.
You should know that the fountain of youth
does exist.

My soul is now healthy.
Your love sends me new found energy.
I am adjusting to this new world.
I am with you and I am in the Light.

Please don't feel bad that you can't see me.
I am with you wherever you go.
I protect you,
just as you protected me so many times.

Talk to me and somehow I will
find a way to answer you.
Mother, father, son or daughter
it makes no difference.
Brother, sister, lover,
husband or wife, it makes no difference.

Whatever our connection-friend or even foe-
I see you with my new eyes.
I am learning to help wherever you are,
where ever I am needed.
This can be done because I am in the Light.

When you feel despair, reach out to me.
I will come.

Our love for you truly does
transcend from Heaven to Earth.
Finish your life with the enthusiasm and zest
that you had when we were together
in the physical sense.
You owe this to me, but more importantly,
you owe it to yourself.

Life continues for both of us.
I am with you because I love you
and I am in the Light.

Grateful

Someone told me once that 'a good father is a precious thing.' 'You were very lucky.' I guess I was. But I know I never saw myself as lucky. I looked at my life as a series of small struggles and gentle, intermediate plateaus of peacefulness. Anything that I am, I owe to you. You taught me that being a family isn't a social construct but an instict. You sign no contract to become a parent, but the responsibilities are written in invisible ink. You never shied away from your responsibilities and for that I am grateful. Rest in Peace.
