Thinking of You on Father's Day



Can't wait to see you Jillian.....

Thinking of you on Father's Day.  You defined who I am.  Thank You. 
My heart is heavy as I think about you today, but know that in not too long of a time in the big scheme of this world I will see you soon, and then of course there will be no more tears....

In the words of Eric Clapton:

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven

Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please

Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

Something for Everyone

I have heard this quote referenced many times by my bereaved parents friends.  It's a nice reminder for our friends and families..

If you know someone who has lost a child or lost anybody who's important to them, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died, they didn't forget they died. You're not reminding them. What you're reminding them of is that you remember that they lived, and that's a great, great gift.
(Elizabeth Edwards, bereaved parent, 2007)
