He belonged to us. He was our husband, our father and our grandfather. He was ours. And in the same way that he was ours, We were his. We were his Life, his existence. We were wrong. He was not only ours. What we thought we held, Belonged to Someone else. In the same way that he was ours, We are His. We are His Life, His existence. We belong to Him. In loving tribute to Jacob Yoder, my grandfather. Rob Yoder [email protected] |

Welcome to Passions! I am so very sorry for your terrible loss. But it sounds to me like you'll all be together again in Heaven. There is great hope, as well as great sorrow in your poem. A very tender, and very loving tribute. |

Rob: Welcome to Passion! This was such a heartfelt piece to enter with. Thought it was sad...I still liked it very much. I am very sorry for your loss and wish you much love and happiness to help you through the healing. Take care. Amy  "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |
