The time that has passed since my last post has seemed like forever........ and as the days click on and I see people open the post and then leave no comment, just make me hurt that much more.

So please if you've opened this post........... please leave a comment. Even if you don't know what to say....... just say hi.

It's November and people think of things that they might be thankful over the year, as they might share around the table at the yearly feast of Thanksgiving. ............ Thankful for?? Are you kidding..........

A time of reflecting
A time of thinking
A time of giving thanks
What am I grateful for?
What do I have to give thanks?

I am thankful for my family
If it is one or two less
I am thankful that we have each other
In times of bliss
And times of despair

I am thankful that
I was fortunate enough to have you
As long as I did
That you were not just a father
But a dad and a friend

I am thankful to know
That you are with my son
That the two of you
Are a team and a pair
Looking down on me and them

I am .............
Not thankful that you took his life
That you changed my life again too soon
That you crossed THAT DAMN YELLOW LINE!

I know things don't seem all that bright right now, but as the days go by, you will smile more, laugh often and learn to be happy again.  Your dad is in a better place, and yes he is with your little boy, and just keeping knowing that one day you all will be reunited and together again.  May God bless you always!!

I know it's hard.  I lost my dad 20 years ago this December.  It's easier, but it still hurts.  There are times when I realy REALLY wish he were still here.

*hugs*

I lost my grandfather in March and I know your pain all two well.  He was the first person close to me who died and the first funeral I ever been too. loosing someone so close is very difficult. My grandfather was more of a father to me then my own father.

Hugs and prayers are with you. I also know about the no comment thing. I put picturs and journals up see so many views but no one really has anything to say.

if you ever need to talk I am here to listen.
