Jeanway 0 Posted March 28, 2004 This is one of those days when i'm lost in the past. Thoughts of my Dad keep creeping in. He passed away 7 years ago this summer. It's funny how little things remind me of him. The silly things we talked about. The projects we shared together. I've come to realize how much alike we are. Little things he'd say to me keep popping into my mind. Just the other day I heard a song on the radio that brought me to tears. If anyone knows this song and who sang it, please tell me, I'd like to get it. " My Father's Hands". I wish I could just have one hour with him right now. I miss him so much.

mj 7 Posted March 28, 2004 I understand your loss. We lost my father a year ago in February, and still are struggling to get our bearings. My mother just finished visiting me for almost a month, and it was the first time we had gotten her out of the house for any length of time since he has been gone. They had known each other since they were 13 years old, married in their mid-twenties, and she is still feeling quite lost. I miss the fact that I could bring any problem to my father, in spite of the fact he was quite set in his ways, and quite an "in charge" kind of guy. His family was number 1 with him. We could feel the love and how he valued us. He is greatly missed, even though we know he is in a better place, and no longer in incessant physical pain. So I empathize with you.

Nemesis 0 Posted March 28, 2004 I don't know what I would do if I lost my dad, we're very close and I think it would crush me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeanway 0 Posted March 28, 2004 Is Holly Dunn a man? This song was sung by a man. But I'll try to find 'Daddy's Hands' too. Don't think I've heard that one. 'My Father's Hands'. There was another one too called 'MaMa's eyes' ? and 'Butterfly Kisses". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeanway 0 Posted March 28, 2004 I feel very grateful right now for all of you sharing your pain with me too. It's very kind of you all. It's hard sometimes to get through a day without this sadness. But I've been able to put it aside, at least for a while when I'm here. Wish I'd had you all sooner. Days like this come and go, I'll be better tomorrow.

Theunicornhunter 2 Posted March 28, 2004 I am sorry for your pain. Unlike others, I can't relate about the Dad but my mother is getting older and I realize in time I will experience that loss. I feel great sadness when I think about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mj 7 Posted March 28, 2004 (edited) Jeanway asked me to post this portion of a poem I PM'ed to her in this thread. As I explained to her, I have the poem in a frame, but I moved recently so it is not unpacked, or even found at the moment. It is called "What God Hath Promised." There are gaps because I cannot remember it all. I am still looking for it. What God Hath Promised Author ???? God hath not promised skies always blue Flower strewn pathways all our life through God hath not promised joy without pain .....................................without sorrow Sun without rain But God hath promised strength for the day Rest for the weary Light on the way Peace for the trials Hope from above Unfailing sympathy Undying love. Best wishes, Jeanway, and peace. Edited March 28, 2004 by mjham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
