Why February 2nd is written in memory of her loving dad.

Why he had to die February 2nd 1991
at least he didn't have a suspect
got shot in any parts of his body by a gun...


 


Why he had to die in 1991, cancer by smoking with malfunctioning lungs...


 


Why my dad had to die February 2nd
only God knew, I have yet to see him
I guess he'll appear during the resurrection...


 


Why was my dad on the bathroom floor in Cardiac Arrest
wasn't there something Debra could have done to stop his Heart Attack...


 


Why wasn't there nothing we could have done to stop him from dying
he didn't even give us a chance to bring him to the hospital
to moan, pray he'll be ok or start crying... Before my mom saw his shoes on the floor and it disappeared
why couldn't I say goodbye, be near him
which feared her when it cleared... Why can't I get pass my fathers death
got a fresh tatoo of
February 2nd 1991 on my thigh
yet I can't put it to rest...


 


Why February 2nd 1991
the day my dad died I lost my soul
and it's never been found...

Powerfully emotive Ms. Iona; often we have questions but more often we have no answers. At least not here, not yet. Love, peace, and strength to you,

Regis

Have faith and trust in God, he will see you through. Roberts's (my husband) relative died 9/11/2001 in the North World Trade Center Tower, a firefighter with Ladder 4. He left behind a wife, two pre-school age children. They are having a difficult time accepteing it all. It just takes time. I will keep you in my prayers.
Be safe,
Karen

Powerful sentiment Ms. Iona. My Mother left Earth Sept 10, 1998. It takes awhile for the emotional war to end. Thankfully those in Christ will see all their loved ones again.

Light and Wisdom ...
