I ALWAYS FORGOT I always forgot your birthday I still don't know its date And Father's day was always missed Or remembered days too late I always forgot to thank you When thanks were more than justified And now I'm trying to forget The date on which you died But one thing I remember And please God I hope you knew That Always and Forever Dad, I will love and remember you |

Today is my Father's birthday and I can't remember the day he died ... strange how the brain works... And I can remember my sister's death clearly but she passed an hour after my birthday while I was laying next to her. Happy Birthday to all who have passed on no matter the day~~ A very thoughtful post  M |

M, I came across this by Wernher Von Braun just after my Father died. I hope you get as much comfort from it as I did. God Bless & Merry Christmas J Nature does not know Extinction All it knows is Transfomation Everything Science has taught me And continues to teach me Strengthens my Belief in the continuity Of our Spiritual Existence after Death |

Having just lost my own father (and my mother 4 weeks earlier) last year, I was especially moved by your touching poem. "That Always and Forever Dad, I will love and remember you" ~ and John, he knows! ~ Now, more than ever!  Linda |

Linda & M, My thoughts are with you both at this time of festive family gatherings. We never get over the loss of a loved one but with the help of the friends & family that remain, we do get through it.Thank you for posting a reply. John |
