This poem can apply to so many relationships, even with the specific mention of father, grandfather, etc. That's what makes an work of art memorable, the many applications it has beyond the artist's vision.

I am so glad that you felt that way. I really wanted this to be applicable to others who read. Thank you. Katie

Gosh. This made me cry. My father died over a year ago, May, 2009. We weren't ready for him to go. Though, we were all there when he died, and we each gave our 'permission' for him to go.
My husband of 55 died in July 2007. I found him on the kitchen floor. Oh, how my life changed in that one moment when I realized he was gone. And, you said it in your poem, oh how important pictures became to me. I have pictures of my husband and us everywhere! I carry special pictures in my purse and in our truck. How they do comfort me.
Your poem says what most of us cannot put into words.

Wow, thank you for your kind and understanding review. I am so sorry for the losses that you have experienced. My fathers illness has come on so suddenly that my mind can not wrap around living in a world without him. I can tell that you totally understand. I really appreciate the encouragement your review and stars have given me. Blessings, Katie

This poem is so true. We take for granted all that is around us thinking it will last forever. We need to cherish our time together while it is happening.

You put is so well, "While it is happening". We just can't wait for tomorrow because it may not be there. Thank you for your kind review.

What a compassion-filled write this one is, girl. Not easy to make ready to lose someone. What a statement that is, eh. You have written this from your heart and soul and it resounds in a mellifluous tone. You are putting your heart and soul into the remaining time and I think that is not only important but wonderful. AWesome.

Gungalo, thank you so much for your understanding review. I did put my heart and soul into this one as I process not only my father's mortality, but the mortality of everyone including myself. I am so thankful that I will see my father again one day, but saddened that life as I know will be changed forever. I appreciate your kind words. Blessings, Katie

My pleasure, Katie. Just remember the great experience of them while they were here and know it can only be better when you reunite.
