Thank you to all the wonderful people who have commented upon this sad loss. Even though it is now 30 years since my Dad died, it took me 29 years to get closure on his departure. Now, my 4 children are all grown adults, and I am a grandfather 5 times over. I really do feel blessed every day.

Again, thank you all.

Death is merely a beginning,
Life shows who you are and what you've become.
Death leads to a new place,
Life is merely the physical moon follows physical sun.

I wroote this for my best freind , companion ,my heart , my every breath ..had passed ..
sorry for your loss i know how it feels

Secluded

At night when you think I'm asleep
My problems come out of my mind ole so very deep
I have flashbacks, & nightmares of all the pain
In my life it begins to rain
All the tears I have build up inside me
I was wondering when I was a kid when would I be set free
From all the physical,emotional,& sexual abuse I went through
Not knowing from day to day who I can actually trust to talk to about my problems more & more I was feeling blue
All my life for over 12 years I have done nothing but sit in the total dark
In my life being abused behind closed doors
It was like a dark end tunnel that never ends of the same ole tour
Not having my mom around for most of my life
It was harder & harder on me stuggling through all the hell & strife
I always wanted to know what I've done so wrong to deserve all this
I know in my life I must be strong
Cause life on earth isn't very long
I sit back questioning myself will there be a miracle to come in my life & God answers prayers
He set me free
Of all the abuse & misery
But today I am still depressed of to know that nothing in my life will bring back the one I am closest to the most
She is gone now she is in heaven
Thank God she was my Guardian Angel she was there when I went through total living hell
She casted away all the evil spells
She stood up for me the most when I needed her
Thankyou Grandma
Forever I will always live in your memory
You've always unlocked my doors with your lucky key
So now I sit in rememberance of you
At times when I am feeling blue
In my mind where everything seems deluded
I will always have you in my heart being secluded

I'm sorry you lost a loved one

I'm sorry to hear that you lost a loved one

My dad also died of a massive heart attack 2 years ago. I'm sorry for your loss. Here is a poem I wrote for my dad.

Good-bye daddy

The world feels empty and full of grief.
          My pain overwhelms me,
             I can find no relief.

God has called you to heaven on this day,
           My heart is breaking,
        and I wish you could stay.

I know you've ended your earthbound start,
        and fully embraced,
       your celestial heart.

I'll keep your heart here next to mine,
         and guard the love,
        we shared in divine.

I'll open my arms in wait of your greeting,
          when God decides,
       to arrange our meeting.

So good-bye sweet daddy, we'll meet again,
          when love makes the link,
            for that heavenly chain.
