Today I visited your grave
Beside you I sat
I spoke to you about my news
My Son that I carry
How much I wish that you were here
And had grown with me to now
As my life goes on
And I surround my self with loved ones
There is always a space empty
No one could ever fill
It is there waiting for that day
That reunited we are
Up in heaven where you be
Looking down over me
I feel you keeping me safe
Through times I cant explain
I want to share your name
With my son, For him to know
That his mum has a friend
That meant everything to her
You know you once said
You couldnt wait to be uncle Dave
Well now you will be
Just not one he can see
Kick the ball with or cuddle
In my heart you live forever
I miss you

Whiskey,
Oh reading this I broke into tears! This is so very sad. But beautiful too. The last few lines keep echoing in my head.

What a poem. And how my heart goes out to you!

A very moving piece of writing---VERY!
A special bond like that cannot be broken--even in death. He will still be an uncle to your son as he grows--in fact, your son will have his own personal angel sitting on his shoulder and watching out for him.

Sending you lots of love, healing hugs, and a rainbow of protective light for the safe delivery of your beloved son...

P.S. A gorgeous pic ! You are as beautiful outside as  you are inside!

Whiskey, so nice to see you, and so glad that you could share this part of a life with us.  Stories are wonderful ways to pass down a child's heritage of his or her relatives...I am sure your baby will never tire of hearing of the escapades of his Uncle Dave.  Thank you for this.

WOW!! you have me in tears!! I think I read this too soon.  Back in February a childhood friend of mine passed away on his way to see me. I know how hard it is whiskey...and I know that no matter how much we try to comfort you..it will never fill that empty spot. Ever since Ronnie died..I keep a song in my heart.."what a day that will be...when my Jesus I shall see..when He takes me by the hand and leads me to that promise land." You will see your friend there, and I will my Ronnie. Until then..carry him in your heart and know that a true friendship goes beyond the physical bond. I am so sorry this is happening to you..i wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. Everytime you see the gray clouds part a bit and the sun shining through..its your friends smiling down from above.

Oh Julie, I am so sorry for your loss. He sounds like he was a truly special person. You know, our character, and being for that matter, is formed largely by those we have interacted with throughout our life. Especially those closest to our heart. They are the most influential. So in that way, your son will know, and be influenced, by your dear friend Dave. Through you.

Julie, this was such a sad, but truly loving tribute...

You both, were truly blessed, to have each other, in your lives...


Take Great Care,

Richy
