Death is Sad for Those Left Behind



my dad died when i was 11, but 5yrs later i was lucky to have the best stepdad there could be for 22yrs. until his death

a reality check for me recently if i wanted to see 4yr old little joe grow up, I would have to change my life style and take meds for the rest of my life, as I've just discovered i have severe blood pressure

to those who have lost your father, or even stepfather a song that reminds me of the good times

Sorry to hear your story Joe. David Gates wrote a song in memory of losing his Dad 'If'. That can catch me out unexpectedly. How great a comfort music can be. Thank heavens for talented God gifted people like Or Gates. Reading that poem reminded me that all 6 of my siblings recited a poem each at our Dad's funeral. Heart rendering stuff I can tell you. You could hear a pin drop in our Church.
