brat#2 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 It's been a year today since you went away and I've been left here to stay It's been the hardest one of all my years filled with a tremendous amount of tears I have gone through denial, anger, fear, guilt, soul searching and pain only to find I don't have much to gain Life without you some times is not worth living only to realize that you are still giving All your love, hope, encouragement to me so I can just be You may not be here to see and touch but you fill my heart, soul and mind with your love and I love you so much There are times that I think you were a dream then I realize you were real and all I want to do is scream Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who knew you were here and don't know if anyone else sheds a tear I just need you to know that I love you and you are in my heart and soul You will be there forever and you are my everything. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dew's Girl Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I know how difficult this is for you. Your poem was beautiful. I get exactly what mean by wondering if we are the only ones still missing them. It seems like the rest of the world just keeps moving but we're still here feeling the loss just like it was day one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margm Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I am trying to catch up on my forum reading. If I don't do it nearly every day I will miss someone or something. I missed this beautiful poem, handsome picture, and my heartfelt feelings and hugs to you Joyce. You hit on every feeling we all have and said it eloquently. Billy's birthday is in four days. We are planning to take balloons to his favorite landing on Dorcheat Bayou that leads into Lake Bistineau. We lived on that lake many years ago. Owning property meant too much time and upkeep for a couple of nomads.. As I have said before, we were not homesteaders, but Billy put in the whole plumbing system in the house to the septic tank. I wonder sometimes how things would have turned out if we had only stayed in one place. Does no good to wonder what might have been. Sometimes we do what we have to do for family. Anyhow, my heart is with you, and wish peace for us all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brat#2 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Thank you Marg. I know you have been really busy and I appreciate you going back and looking and responding. I will be thinking of you on Billy's birthday, these special days are even harder than all the other ones. I think he would like you releasing balloons in honor of him.
