Such times, such loss, such forbearance and such fortitude and bravery... we do not know the half. Lovely tribute and remembrance here, Pops, and your typical gentleness, love and gratitude. Each story told is unique to the teller and yet there ARE so many OUT there... holding fast to an appreciation of the past is what steadys our feet for the future... What a blessing! :)) TY Kate xx

Your poem is the heartfelt truth of so many, and the ending culminates in the New Beginning of You!! A precious gift to the world so in need of healing! (I just read your updated bio, and you are so on track!)

Felix, this is a grand write! I just came across some letters in the old house that my father wrote to mom during WW2, along with photos of him and his shipmates in Africa. You know you favor your father I think but with a little added softness of the features from your mother. Thanks for sharing these memories...

Another nostalgic pictire Felix and aa tender poem of love with your family.It is marriages like this that make us all believe in love and faith. My parents were married 66 years before my Dad died. My Mom still goes to his grave and talks to him like he's sitting right there with her.
WE had awesome parents didn't we?

Felix,

A beautiful, compassionate write. My grandmother (Dad's mom) had five sons in war at the same time; thank God, thank God, all returned home. One was a survivor of the Bataan Death March, but it was a near thing...well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

There are lots of prayers goes out in war time.
I'm glad to know your Father made it home. It's eaqually as hard on those that wait, as it is on those fighting the fight. Sometimes even harder, because if the warrior is killed, his reward is peace, leaving those waiting to fight a whole new battle.
Thank You Felix for sharing your family with us.
