I have not been able to visit this site since February this year; that's when life began to hand out some of the most difficult times I have had to face in my entire life...

On February 7th, my dad passed away from oat cell cancer.. on April 1st... my daughter, Becky, was killed in a one-car accident.. and on April 5th, my Mom also went home... so it's been a true learning experience.

I have not been able to find any words to write for Becky until now. Even now, these are hollow in comparison to the feeling of losing a child. I think that is the most humbling of experiences as well as the most painful; you are completely helpless and the loss paralyzes you.

But.. today I wished to share this with you and hope, in doing so, that I can let go of some of the pain.

They say you're in a better place
It's awfully hard not to see your face
Or hear your voice
Or hold you near
And yet, you are with us still
You live on inside our hearts
Our love so strong
We cannot part
So I will not
cannot say goodbye
This kind of love will never die
Live on in me, your sisters too
And most of all that son,
So much of you
We will, we must continue on
Until that day our time too comes
To join with you forever more
Through our tears we smile and say
See you soon
Love you
Always

Thank you jo. It is, indeed hard, but hopefully, though the pain and the loss will never go away, it will be ... bearable.
