Borgy's Wedding Day

a note from a friend to Borgy~ so beautiful!

Now you will feel no rain,
for each of you will be shelter for the other.

Now you will feel no cold,
for each of you will be warmth for the other.

Now there is no more loneliness.

Now you are two persons,
but there is only one life before you.

May your days together be good and long upon the earth.

Post 3 ~ My Daddy

You left us 3 weeks ago now and gosh~ the void. I miss your voice, hugs, and wet kisses :)) I miss everything about you Dad. I also know you are free~ and for that I am glad. How are the oysters up beyond the stars? ps The Minneapolis Star Tribune did a wonderful article about you yesterday. What a tribute to you. You are a very, very special guy :) xo

Post 2 ~ My Dad

hi daddy, i think of you all day long. i just can't help myself. i think of the last time i saw you. wearing your yellow and blue striped polo turtle neck, sitting in your wheelchair in the diningroom. i rubbed your back, touched your hand. you were so quiet, very sweet. i wish i had a sense about the quiet. i would have said more~ you were so kind and told me i looked so pretty, that you loved me. you then said it's dark and i should be on my way home. you didn't ask me to call when i got home safely like you usually did. you did say, "i love you pooh." you asked me to let you sit there and not take you back to your room. i think you liked being around others. we kissed and hugged and i told you i loved you too. i turned around just once. walking away was always so hard for me. i miss you so much dad. you loved me and i always knew it. it hurts, i ache, i don't know what to do~ thank you dad for being my dad. sweet dreams wherever you are tonight. i love you, pooh

And tonight you left us~ Peacefully, comfortably, and without fear. So gently~ My heart is breaking apart. I will miss your physical presence, your smell, your kisses, your smiles. I love you Dad. I love you so much, Your Pooh

Christmas Eve~ Wood & me

How do you capture the wind on the water?
How do you count all the stars in the sky?
How do you measure the love of a mother
Or how can you write down a baby's first cry?

Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glow
Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn
Silent night, holy night, all is calm and all is bright
Angels are singing; the Christ child is born

Shepherds and wise men will kneel and adore him
Seraphim round him their vigil will keep
Nations proclaim him their Lord and their Saviour
But Mary will hold him and sing him to sleep

Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glow
Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn
Silent night, holy night, all is calm and all is bright
Angels are singing; the Christ child is born

Find him at Bethlehem laid in a manger
Christ our Redeemer asleep in the hay
Godhead incarnate and hope of salvation
A child with his mother that first Christmas Day

Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glow
Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn
Silent night, holy night, all is calm and all is bright
Angels are singing; the Christ child is born

God who cares for me~

thank you~

God who cares for those i love

my thoughts to a friend~ your tears~ it sounds like you have become very attached to my dad. i only wish you could have really known him. he has had a more than extraordinary life and when everything lines up, dad is more than ready to join my mom and sister. i often find myself smiling as i remember things throughout my lifetime with my dad. as well, i find myself in tears wondering how i will live without him so hugely present in my life. we had a remarkable bond. it was one that needed no words and yet everything was acceptable. we shared a love of fishing, as did many of my family members, the outdoors, nature~ water, the ocean, quiet times and lots of laughter and fun. dad is a very complex man and comes with life experiences that have made him feel full and complete. he and mom adored each other. i've had some difficulties with how he treats people at times. i keep thinking that is mine to deal with even tho' i don't like it~ we are imperfect. God loves us anyway and accepts our shortcomings. don't be sad. life has a beginning and an end...this is how it is to be. i will deeply miss my dad, and i know i will struggle mightily for a time, but i cannot deny him the gift that will be his, everlasting life, and my dear Mom. be joyful. have great faith. God knows exactly what he's doing. love you, cynthia
