Fifty Christmases More In days gone by ‘twas inspired to write “Fifty Christmases More” to think of you each holiday coming to my door. It was only but a title and really nothing more but to write a simple verse of rhyme based on fact, or lore. Something puts something off the timing, perhaps, not right then I received an E from you and tears fell late last night. You are years younger than I so now is not your time to tell me of this disease and that which would take ‘way mine. Through the years we’ve gone our ways I’ve lived my life; you, yours, but still dear brother of my heart of my love be assured. Perhaps it’s wrong to write it out, this pain of here and now, but for you to know my heart and how I cope with vows. I vowed my parents to care for you and my sister dear, so fear not when I say with heart I’ll always be right here. Perhaps we’ll not see fifty more Christmas holidays but while we have the time to share I send my love your way. ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 25 November 2001 |

You really tugged at my heartstrings with this one. My brother, Dennis, recently had cancer tests which luckily were negative, but I tell you it scared the tar out of me. Thanks for sharing this with us. Kathleen (Kay) |

Dear Sunshine. This was so touching. I pray that all goes well and that you have a blessed Christmas season. I am holding tight to my one surviving brother. Four of them have gone on before me. We don't know from one day to the next do we? Love, Joyce |

What a painful poem for you to have to write. I hope that sharing it with your friends here, helped in a small way. I'm sure many people will now be praying for you and your brother. Betty Lou Hebert |

I hope things work out well with you and your brother. It is not wrong to write of your feeling. I find comfort writing and sharing and I'm sure your brother does too. BTW- it was a fine poem. Melton |
