Two peas from the same POD!
'Two peas - from the same pod' - your daughter - has quite rightly described you and me...
A perfect description - innocently captured - of our relationship, trusting and hate free...
We loved each other unconditionally - We stood and supported - whenever we fell.
Towards the end - although you leaned heavily on me - you picked me up as well!
To say we were like twins - when together - is 'just' and perfectly true...
But more importantly than all of this - was our connection and love from me and you
We discussed your children, your marriage - the problems and the pain.
The day you left me - we spoke at length - but I did not think - I would n't see you again!
The loss - the devastation, the pain - still haunts me to this day...
Your children robbed of your 'love and care' - have survived in their own way.
As an Uncle - I have tried to support and guide - but alas not anywhere near enough...
But try to understand - I have tried my best - while coping with your loss.
To say 'I miss you' is an understatement - a feeling that cuts me deeply - every day.
Please watch over your children and siblings - and help me to cope in 'our' way.
Your loving brother...Tim xxx
i love you
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
and each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting, and so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.
But now at last you’re free.
So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart
a poem for her dad
Don't cry for me Daddy,
For I am right here.
Although you can't see me,
I still see your tears.
I visit you often,
I follow you each day.
And when it's time to close your eyes,
On your pillow is where I lay.
I hold your hand and stroke your hair,
And whisper in your ear.
If your sad today Daddy,
Remember I am here.
God took me home,
This we know is true.
But you'll always be my Daddy,
Even though I'm not with you.
I am Daddy's little girl,
And we will never be apart.
For everytime you think of me,
Please know I'm in your heart.
EPITAPH FOR TRACEY - written XMAS 1999
Christmas time, season of goodwill, has made me cry
You've left us all and made your journey on
The love you gave to all will never die
went we who are left must still go on
Without your smile, your voice, your honesty
We'll miss you here, are hearts are broken too
Bravely you wet and faced your destiny
And in so doing did what you had to do
Throughout your life you fought against all odds
You triumphed every step of womanhood
Through illness hit you hard and made us weep
You fought it all for your children's good
You proudly went where few have dared to go
Your Victory shone as does the brightest star
You've leftus sad but Oh so proud of you
Your was love"Per Ardua Ad Astra
a letter sent from heaven to give you comfort
rest in peace dear Tracey...my son took his own life in Sept 06 and it left me heartbroken too...but a friend sent me this poem and it comforted me so much...I do hope it does for you too, love sheila
a letter from heaven
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
