I, too, wrote tributes to my only son, in memorium, one is titled "Yellow Roses" and another, "Age 23". You might like these as they are two of my favorites :)!
Beautiful, cherished words and art. Your love shines :)!
Thanks for your review too.

Elga, this is a shinning example of another exceptionally well-written piece of priceless poetry and memories waiting to caress the pages of your remarkable Den, which only further illustrates your powerful inner strength and compassionate being one needs to bring and raise a child. Although it was sad reading that you fell, thank goodness your son was born without complications. I have always encouraged anyone who is giving birth that the Father also be in the birthing room. I feel it not only comforts the Mother but it also enables the Father to begin bonding and sharing the awesome responsibly one needs to raise a child. I was in the operating room with my ex-wife while all three our children were born. Matter of fact, once they came out of the oven, I was the first one to hold them and then I thanked her for giving me such precious gifts. I am glad that only women have the necessary compartments needed to give birth and are way better at nurturing children then men. If it were up to us, we would all be trouble because after seeing what a woman goes through, I�d rather have someone pummel me with a baseball bat, before I�d ever want to go through the lengthy process a woman does. Oh well, I guess I�ve rambled on enough my friend. Thank you for helping me travel back in time when I could hold my child in the palm of my hand. However, now they keep threatening me that there going to put me in an old folks home �lol. Thanks for sharing your remarkable talents and precious memories. May you and yours always be comforted and safe. Be well my friend.
