It spoke to a place in my heart left vacant by a different kind of loss...the loss of my little boy, who was two. Similar sentiments although the pain is nowhere near the same. But there was something about your poem that reminded me so much of certain feelings I've had about Josh over the years. <BR/><BR/>Beautiful and so very heartfelt.

He was only human and in that made choices, that didn't always please everyone. He is in a good place now and he can do so much more there. I truly believe his path is one that spreads Joy from where-ever he is at. Take a look at one of Marthas' poems on Death....She just had her brother Jims anniversary from cancer as well. It truly had a way with putting it in perspective....<BR/>I hope she doesn't mind, but here is the poem I am speaking of....<BR/><BR/>Gone From My Sight<BR/>by Henry Van Dyke<BR/><BR/>I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,<BR/>spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts<BR/>for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.<BR/>I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck<BR/>of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.<BR/><BR/>Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone"<BR/><BR/>Gone where?<BR/><BR/>Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,<BR/>hull and spar as she was when she left my side.<BR/>And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.<BR/><BR/>Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.<BR/>And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"<BR/>there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices<BR/>ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"<BR/><BR/>And that is dying...Kaleihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03103910877999336255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11616301.post-57330890872880884682008-12-15T13:45:00.000-10:002008-12-15T13:45:00.000-10:00What a beautiful poem.

I do think that it's gotten easier to deal with my step-dad's death (and now my dad) with time, but that doesn't mean I won't miss them forever. I remember talking to my step-dad a few years ago and we were talking about his mom, whom he'd lost a little more than 20 years earlier and he said he still thought about her everyday.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236996311963818408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11616301.post-41345068121738159162008-12-15T07:24:00.000-10:002008-12-15T07:24:00.000-10:00I lost my dad when I was 17 too, and lost my mom j...I lost my dad when I was 17 too, and lost my mom just 3 months ago, so i'm right there with you.
