****Last week three young people were tragically taken from this earth in an auto accident. This is a eulogy for the son to his mom. A dear friend said the family was looking for one such as this. I couldn't find one, so I wrote one. I don't know whether the family will use it. But this reminded me of the death of my 17 y/o nephew and his mother (my sister). Thank you for allowing me the space to post this. If for any reason you find it inappropriate please delete it. Thanks Startin_Fresh aka (Shawn) Dearest Mom, I haven't left you mom I'm right here at your side I will always be with you I reside within you I'm in your heart and memories You've given so much of yourself To help me become your son That can't and won't ever change. I know that you miss me mom But I am right here with you In your heart and your soul We are truly inseparable. Anytime you feel lonely Know that I am here for you As you were always there for me You gave me the gift of life I never will forget how You've taught me so much I am lucky to have you We need never say goodbye. I love you mom! [This message has been edited by startin_fresh (edited 09-18-2000).] |

I think you did a beautiful job on this and I am sure that they will appreciate you forever. It is times like these that make us realize that each and everyday is one not to waste. Your heart is one of beauty and my prayers to them ,to you, and to all those to whom you have had to say till in heaven we meet again. |

Now why would anyone want to delete this? It throws you off to hear of a bad car wreck. But then again, it makes you even more relieved when you see a wreck that should have been bad and wasn't... Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go. |

startin_fresh, a beautiful piece, as of yet I have lost anyone close to me but my brother knows a family well who lost their eldest son in a car accident. My thoughts and prayers are with the family your poem was written for also for the loved ones that you have lost. The softest thing in the world Will overcome the hardest.Non-being can enter where there is no space". Taoist saying [This message has been edited by brian madden (edited 09-19-2000).] |
