Letting go

Its been 3 years since Dad passed away. Its true when they say it gets easier as time goes by. But sometimes, in some moments its still hurts to miss him. Buddy turned to writing as a way to express how he was feeling many years ago. He has a book of the most beautiful poetry I've ever read (I bet you didnt know that about Buddy :) This is the poem he wrote on the day we "tossed him in" (Buddy's words, not mine)





Final View

As you sit
Dock swaying
Breeze blowing
Sweet smell of salt
You gaze at love
Memorize explode
Good times remembered
Peace is felt
Love over flows
Family remains
To the sea you go
Release
Pain subsides
Love swells
Final view enjoyed

I love the picture that Archie took. What a moment captured! Looks like it was a good trip to be able to say goodbye (again).
