Picture by Josephine Wall

* * *

I feel you here beside me
Each and every day
I think about you fondly
And in my heart you'll always stay

I gaze towards the heavens
As I search the sky so blue
I often wonder if you see me
While I stop and think of you

Part of me went with you
On the day you passed away
My life then lost its focus
And my blue skies turned to grey

But the times we spent together
Are so vivid in my mind
I remember so much about you
Your heart and soul so very kind

I hold a candle to your memory
As my love for you burns bright
Thoughts of you I hold so dearly
Of your face I'll not lose sight

* * * *

I still miss my father so much even though
it has been over three years since he died.
He was the left hand to my right and his
passing left an empty place in my heart.
I often feel the need to write about the
love I have for him even though he is not
with me physically.

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Sue, I know right now from up above your dad is smiling as he loves you so much and wishes he could tell you millions of times how much he does love you but know he will always be guiding you with every step you make and part of you didn't go with him, because his love will always be there inside of you as a father and daughters love is forever! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet firend, I send many angel hugs to you today, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Ah Sue, you're tugging...
It's been 14 years since my father died.
I can still smell his aftershave...

if only in my mind.

Oh, Sue...this is beautiful, but so sad.
My heart goes out to you for your missing
your Dad so much. I still have my Mom
and Dad, for which I am so thankful. I hate
to even think of the day when I will lose
them from this earth.
I am so glad, though, that you have such
loving memories of your Dad, Sue.

Thanks for sharing your heart with us.

Love To All,
Ethel

Hi Sue,

'...I gaze towards the heavens
As I search the sky so blue
I often wonder if you see me
While I stop and think of you...'

Your Dad is definitely looking down and seeing you and his spirit is always with you. He is the wind the blows, the rain that falls and the sun that shines on you and your family. He is the flowers that bloom in your beautiful garden and the words that form the wonderful poems that you write so elequently.

Thank you for sharing this and the picture is exquisite.

Hugs to you my friend, Marti

Sue: It's so hard to asjust to life without someone you love deeply, as you do your Dad. I know you cherish all the lovely memories you have and hope things get a bit easier as time goes on.
