Often when I write, images of my father come to mind, bringing me peace and guidance.On the days when I'm feeling down I try to resurface all the happy and cherished memories I have of my beloved father. It brings me great comfort when I write of the love I have for my father and I feel I keep his spirit alive through my words. * * * * * There were times we'd sit and talk Without saying a single word As we engaged in conversation Without a sound being heard So in tune with one another Many stories you once told Those memories for me are priceless For they cannot be brought or sold I would watch you as you worked So very skilled at carpentry I have so many things you made So very precious they are to me My home is filled with memories Of the times I spent with you 'tho life is sometimes out of focus Of your image I have a clear view I feel your warmth around me Remembering your face so warm and kind I clasp tightly to the picturebook That I have here in my mind 'tho part of me went with you On the day you passed away I still find comfort in my memories For it is there you'll always stay I am in motion |

Sue, though I still have my father, I lost my mother 30 years ago....And I have many memories of her that I cherish to this day. We all have someone who we loved very deeply and still do...You have not ever done any thing but speak the highest praise of your Dad.... |

Sue: Thanks for sharing these thoughts of your father. Not all daughters had such a loving relationship. I did, so I can appreciate your feelings. Betty Lou Hebert [This message has been edited by Trillium (07-05-2002 09:55 PM).] |

we spin the radio dials in unison but the sound is off yet we hear the same song on the same station and tap our feet to the rhythm of our heart Sue, the splender of a priceless moment has been captured by pen by your keen eye *s* Jeff |

Thank you one and all for your comforting words. Sandra, I know from your previous comments how close you were to your grandparents and I'm so glad you could relate to my words. Jeff, the tears flowed freely when I read your beautiful words. Thank you ever so much. Take care.....Sue I am in motion |
