Poem Artwork

Two more days until my world
stops again, halts in a moment
of remembering, not that I have
forgotten.  Can't.  My brother's 
phone call:  'Daddy's gone.'  I'd
just talked to him a couple of

days before --- he sounded
better than he had in a long
time, no hint that two days later,
my brother would do the talking.
Sat on the front porch after the
news, looked up, tears running

down my face:  and a cloud
reached out with a heart in its
hands.  Reminded me of Daddy
--- I still look up at the skies,
hoping to see him in the clouds.
I love and miss you so much ...

(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (5/26)

Karla, the loss of loved ones -- we never overcome -- we soldier on as best we can with our hearts heavy with each recollection of them -- may peace and love be with you my dear friend -- Jon Michael

it is good to remember as with the remembering of the pain comes the remembering of the love

Pain is the only real thing that can remind us we are still alive and are able to drink from the well of good memories.

Yes I don't think we ever stop remembering but with time the sadness is replaced by the strength of the good memories and love we once shared.

I miss him too, Karla; there isn't a day that goes by where I don't think of our big, strong daddy! Beautiful tribute to a true hero in our lives; he will always remain in us and around us.

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( *tears!*

Hebrews 12 speaks of a crowd of witnesses who are there in heaven watching over us and praying for us and rejoicing in us when we overcome the darkness all around us. He is there Karla and he still loves you. I hope this helps close the gap in your heart for your beloved Dad. Bless you, J'nia

Black Ash & Green (Sessions with my Therapist) by Pearl Barley C M Donaldson

She never felt safe at home as a young girl, and didn't understand why when she finally escaped she wasn't safe in the big wide world either ...effectively jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!
