It's been a roller coaster ride through hell and back

This morning my father passed away shortly after 5AM. Following a 4-year battle with cancer that has been nothing short of a nightmare. I am saddened, yet filled with content that he no longer has to suffer like he has been ( Read more... )

Coming to Westminster with Uncle Roger at 6am this morning to tell you was one of the hardest things I've ever done. But remember Benny, this experience has made us stronger than most can claim to be. Our family is unbreakable.

Love, your sister

Neb I can totally relate to what your going through... About 6 years ago.. I went through the Same thing... Actually almost to this Date... August 31st :-/..

Recently I wrote a poem...

Moving on
By Michael Jablon
******************************

He is gone, never to return..
I question myself If there is anything I could have said, done, that would have changed the outcome.
But time cannot reverse itself
I must move on

The vacuous hole only grows bigger in my heart as the days go on,
the memories of us together, drilling the hole even larger,
His wishes would be for me to move on, and be strong.
I must move on

The days pass, and the pain eases,
The vacuous hole becomes filled with an infinite number of memories to be forever stored in the heart
I will move on

The years pass and my pain is nearly gone
I enjoy reaching into my heart and extracting the memories of our times together
I have moved on

Neb I send my deepest condolences and I am here for you if you ever want to talk

-Mike

:( I'm sorry Ben. I know all the cliches don't help, but just remember that he isn't in any pain now. Sit back and reminisce about the good times. I'm willing to listen if you ever want to just talk. Let me know when you get back to campus so I can come visit. *HUGS*
