Hi, Daddy, We just stopped by today to see you I know you can't talk to me But, that's OK... I don't mind They say that you can't see me, either I don't think they understand, though You can see me, you said you would You know, Daddy, I don't like this White has never been my favorite color Not yours, either You said green was always your favorite Olive green, just like you always wore But, they have this white marble thing here I told Mommy it should be green I said you wouldn't like it Mommy said you wouldn't know But, I think Mommy is wrong You still see me, you know everything Well, Daddy, Mommy says it's time to go Here are the flowers I brought you I know you'll like them Since I can't hug you I will hug your white rock I love you Thank you for being my Daddy forever I saw a photo of a little girl hugging a military gravestone and was inspired to write this. I know it is a day late for Memorial Day (US); however, I do that sometimes. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition |

This is timeless, dear Ringo, as it reflects the emotions of too many little children who have to cope with the loss of their daddy. And ... they do know better than adults that the soul connection continues, just as you suggest. Beautiful and poignant. Margherita |

It's never too late to talk to your daddy or commemorate something special. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Ringo, I believe every day should be Memorial Day. We should always remember, feel and pay tribute to those who fight and die for us. Thank you for this - I am very moved. It's good to see you back. Alison |

Thinking this should be posted often, and at least annually. Well done, my friend. |
