Our son chose to end his time on earth after 17 years.
We celebrate his life and the love we shared.
At the
time he left us...obviously unprepared, as no parent could ever be. We found solace in knowing he was no longer in pain and
was smiling and happy. All we ever wanted was happiness for him. Always with us, we try to face each day in a world without
his physical presence.
Below is a poem a friend sent to us...that helped us...gave us some peace.
Farewell
My Beloveds
Do not stand at my side and weep
I am not there I do not sleep
I am the soft summer breezes,
that gently caress your skin.
I am the funny shaped clouds,
that make children grin.
I am the rough ocean
waves crashing into shore,
I am the wintry winds,
blowing at your door.
I am the evening sunlight,
dancing
on fields of grain,
I am the softly falling,
warm springtime rain.
I am the autumn leaves,
swirling on
the ground.
I am the beautiful seashell,
at the beach you found.
Do not stand at my side and cry,
I am
not there, I did not die.
For life goes on, the wheel ever turns,
the dance of consciousness continues as we learn.
So send off my soul to the spirit realms
with joy and thanksgiving, love and laughter.
Let go of the past and
dance ecstatically into the future.
