my Dad
I am sorry to hear the news about your father, but now he is able to rest...no more pain. My grandmother also had hospice. I knew she was holding on to life until I got there. I gave her a hug and whispered to her that everything would be alright...we would be ok. I saw her take her very last breath at 4:53 pm on February 17th 2001, only 20 minutes after I got to her apartment. I love poetry and I also write poems. Right after she passed away I had an inspirational poem that I wrote and read at her funeral...here it is:
FOR US

(February 19, 2001)
I wanted to look so good today.
I promised not to cry.
You know I'm better where I am,
No pain--no more inside.
I hope for you the best of things
That life has to give.
I hope for you the good things
That hope brings from within.
But most of all--my family,
And above all, this be true,
I "want you to be happy,"
And may your dreams come true.
I truly believe that for me, poems come from within me for whatever reason, feeling, thought, or inspiration that sparks it, the poems I write are not me writing a poem, the poem writes for me. I believe the reason why this poem came to me is because my grandma was still with me and wanted me to let the family know how she felt. I love her so much and always will...she will always be a part of my life. Her main thing in life was for everyone to be happy...I know she helped me write this poem.
Love and Hugs!

Tim,
I am so sorry for your dads passing- you may have lost him physically but spiritually his imprint and his teachings are with you. My heart breaks.. it is never easy losing a loved one. I am sure he is proud looking over at what you accomplished and your words above would make him proud. Remember the good times...and share what he taught you.
Love and Hugs
