Your poems are so beautiful you can really feel how you loved your grandson and he was such a beautiful child I but he gave you such joy every day of his short life on this earth

Hi Leonard beware from that greeting from Linda she e mailed bunches with the exact same e mail. and I don't like e mailing on here as it is so to speak...But it is helpful to let the tears roll as I write to people whose feelings are consumed with their loss. there are a lot of moms on here. which I know I can relate to. People don't write back often and some don't write back at all. I would like to write some poems they were all I had when this happened. there was one about a box. and one about the dash..... what matters is the dash between birth and death. and one about they existed... I can't put my hands on them now. but they are vaguely in my memory. I used to be able to go to the memorials on this site but can't find the link now. they must have erased it or I am just being dense. There are al ot of sad stories on here. some people say does it help to go on here. and I just know it is a time of mourning constructively. I mourn constantly becasue everything reminds me of him. every thing on tv everything out in public. we are humans and there are so many humans around us and they all remind me of him. I know it will just change with time. Hope you are ok... Carrie L

Hi Len it was nice reading your poems thanks for sharing them with us. carrie L

Hi Leonard i know you are going throught the same things the rest of us are. but there are a lot of moms on here and it is good to hear from a dad. children are our gift from god the best thing in this whold life and to loose them is horrendous if not unfathonable. It is the saddest was to live after this loss. and it is constant in the mind of a mom. and probably dad some dads are really feeling and love their kids so much.. I hope this day finds you ok and able to go on .. as our children would go on if it were us.. i am sure my beautiful child morgan would want me to be the happiest ever for that is what he wanted in his life. i don't think he would like me talking about him nor would i want him talking about me if i died. just a personal preference. it is very sad and continuing sadness which makes it almost draining but i can't change this only love him and keep his memory alive and well. for he did the between the dash thing good. i found that poem that ended it is what we do between the dash. and i know his was as good as possible.. he was very outgoing. and very much loved. and i know your child is the same take care carrie L
