Lost are my eyes no place of peace is there to be found no comforting outlook on which to rest. Exposed to wander from one memory to another gathering tears between that which was never made right and all that can now never be. |

it is not much of an offering from my muse, but it is all I am allowed thus far after my father's death this weekend. I have not seen him in about 25 years...sigh, I had planned a trip now because of his illness but did not make it before he died. thank you for the hugs |

JB, I'm sorry you didn't make it, but things are meant to be. I wouldn't go see my father for any reason and he's here in town. Maybe I'll regret that when he's gone, but I really doubt it. |

Oh, my friend... if I could take those gathering tears from you, I would. I wish you'd had that chance for him to know just how special his daughter is. |

gathering tears between that which was never made right and all that can now never be. beautifully written... I had the trip planned to see my ill father before he died 7 years ago and I too, missed by a day, although my family was and always has been close. Still the fact that I could not say good bye to him before the end hurt me and delayed my progress by a year... Don't let that happen, jb...know that in his heart he knew you cared M |

Your heart cries out in this. I'm sorry for your loss and that you were unable to see him prior to his departure. Oft times I think, sure if I knew one of my gown children or grandchildren would die tomorrow, I'd spend today with them. However,there's reason we don't know and we just do our best day by day. We have to accept that. God bless you. Rae |
