In Loving memory of my son George Feb. 24,1960--Dec.5,2000 How Lucky I Was And I Am And so, I sit in wonderment, In awe of all that you were. The beauty of your soul. The brilliant humor of your mind. And the immense love in your heart. How can I live my days without you? Then again, I feel you are here. The body dies, Yet the spirit remains. And I so feel your warmth around me. When I do something nice for someone, I still hear you say "that was so nice Mom." Such memories I have. How lucky I was and I am. Your loving mom floria |

strbbux - I can tell from this write that you love him very much. My younger brother was around the same age when I lost him. I love him also. I know it's not the same as a child, but I do miss him... BC |

Very touching thoughts ... I lost a brother at a young age, and even after 32 years, I still have the memories we shared together and think of him almost daily through little things that stir fond moments |

Floria, I am so sorry about the lose of your son. This is a very nice poem for your son. I lost my brother when he was only 26 years old. I miss him more than I can say. I have his picture on my wall. Sometimes tears come to my eyes. [This message has been edited by SmartChick (02-22-2002 09:10 PM).] |
