I know I have been a little late on fathers day...dads b-day....and the 4Th of July.....but emotions were running too high. So here is a little something for "Juice" :

 

Three very Special holidays have just past,

but my precious memories of you will forever last.

Holidays are supposed to be enjoyed,this isn't the case,

but the strength and love you have given me;no one can ever replace.

Time eases the pain, thats what people say,

but my grief and pain I live with each and every day.

There is not one day that goes by without you crossing my mind,

I would have never seen the end coming, boy was I so blind.

Daddy I know your at ease now but I wish you were here,

so I try to ease the pain with just one more beer.

I think of the good times, the happy, the sad,

thats when I realize you were the best dad I could have ever had.

Our memories together bring both laughter and tears,

but they will remain in my heart for the rest of my years.

Lifes lessons learned the hardway; may the lessons last,

It's time to move on now and stop living the past.

I know you are with me ;just not in plain sight,

you show me many signs each and every day and night.

I know your in good hands now and now at rest,

a short life well lived, god only takes the best.

Love ya Dad....May you rest in peace! Besos!

I AM FREE

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day, to laugh,to love, to work or play.
Tasks undone must stay that way
I've found that peace at the close of the day.

If parting has left a void, then fill itwith remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wants me now, He set me free.

Merry Christmas Dad! Unfortunately, this was the first time in a few years I was able to celebrate in Mass...but I cherish the memories of past Holidays. This weekend was full of such mixed emotions. It was very hard to overcome our grief during certain events. I watched a movie of Jimmys 3rd Birthday, and I coudnt help but cry.You were just as humorous then as you were when you left this earth.All though there was sadness, this weekend also had a very happy moment...Emily...your baby girl got ENGAGED! I know in my heart you were present, and I know you a very happy that she found a great man. We love you and miss you terribly :(

Jimmy....I remember you in my mothers kitchen with your step Dad, my uncle Harvey, and your mom Roberta, and of course all my family, parents , sisters etc.  You were around 6 years old and always had a little grin on your handsome face...you loved to play games outside !   I am so proud to have known you thruogh my uncles second marriage !  Your mom Roberta and I were very close right to the end....she would call me every friday night to chat from Vermont.   It was my Gift to have you for my cousin....we were not blood cousins but that is how I felt, is that  YOU were !      Peace and love ,
