White Crane Feather Posted November 21, 2019 #576 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) I’ll see you on the other side my friend Tom. You were a pleasure to work with, and a true role model for humanity. Even though I was your teacher, in many ways you were my role model as a father. That time you heard my little boy calling for me. “Daaaaaaddddyyyyyyy” You turned to me as if it were you who were the mentor, and look me in the eyes with the command of a hero, and said “Never forget that sound.” Is a moment and a lesson that I will never forget and cherish. The world is less without you. Edited November 21, 2019 by White Crane Feather 3 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcgram Posted December 21, 2019 #580 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Remembering my best friend on this day that is forever burned in my memory. It's the day I heard the news that she was in the hospital and had less than a 3% chance of survival. Another coworker and I went to see her in the hospital during our lunch break and I knew then that she wasn't coming back to us. I shed many tears that day and the days afterward, and my heart felt as if it would burst from the pain. I prayed the hardest I have ever prayed for a miracle, but death does not play favorites and the world became a bit darker that fateful day. I hold her in my heart in memory until we meet again. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcgram Posted December 25, 2019 #581 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Merry Christmas in heaven, my beautiful friend. It's hard to believe it's been 3 years since you left us, we who loved you still struggle around this time of the year because we miss you so much. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted January 7, 2020 #582 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Thinking of you today, Kristy-Leigh, on what would have been your 32nd birthday. We'll never know why, twelve years ago, you took the decision to leave this world but I hope you found peace. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scholar4Truth Posted February 27, 2020 #585 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Reading this thread reminds me of the song so far away by Avenged Seven Fold. This line says it all: Sleep tight I'm not afraid (not afraid) The ones that we love are here with me Lay away a place for me (place for me) 'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way To live eternally That second line the ones we love are here with me (us). cuts deep.

tcgram Posted March 9, 2020 #586 Share Posted March 9, 2020 It's been almost 2 weeks since my mom in law passed away. Making plans for Easter are hard as she always made Easter baskets for the kids and we celebrated the Saturday before. Things just don't feel the same. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcgram Posted April 1, 2020 #587 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Missing my best friend. I had a dream about her this week and was horribly disappointed that I awoke and could not talk to her anymore. I tried to go back to sleep in the hopes of dreaming of her again, but to no avail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdueleaf Posted April 5, 2020 #588 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) I woke up to a picture creation on my laptop, my eldest son and his family dropped it off as a gift to me. I placed it on the fridge underneath a photo of my two grandsons that was taken a few weeks before Bailey's passing. My grandson Jordi (pictured on the right in the photo) made it at daycare. Elephants are Bailey's animal theme (he is pictured on the left in the photo). In the picture creation the elephant looks to be holding a green dandylion, I have a story in this thread a page or so back about how I relate dandylions to Bailey. This picture creation will forever stay on my fridge edited to add that the elephants color.. is very similar to Bailey's bedroom paint scheme (grey, white, teal/blue) and crib bedding Edited April 5, 2020 by Overdueleaf 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakonwick Posted April 5, 2020 #589 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I remember my Grandfather who helped raise me! He served on the battleship USSNC during WW2! He passed away many years ago, but left many memories, he taught me how to cook and survive. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptid_Control Posted April 17, 2020 #590 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I guess it’s never an odd time to mourn. I want to say my respects to my great grandfather who was the harbour master through ww2 . The great uncle whose name I don’t know who died valiantly in Vimy Ridge. And my grandfather Frederick, who fought in ww2 but went awol to marry my late grandmother. The ship he would have been on sunk later and everyone but him died. People thought of him as a mean old b****** but he died when I was 6 and all I remember is him pushing me on the swing and reading me books. Red Raptor was my favorite. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptid_Control Posted April 17, 2020 #591 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Also. I don’t want to say her name out of privacy but I was in the hospital mid March and the woman I was next to died 5 days after I was discharged. I remember getting her blankets, holding her hand when she had blood draws and trying to help in any way I could. I hope they all find peace, and I hope she went to a heaven where it’s always warm and full of young attractive phillipino men. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheas_back Posted April 20, 2020 #592 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I miss my grandfather on my dad's side. I wasn't his favourite, far from it but I can't visit anyone on my dad's side of the family now. He protected me when I visited me. He lost his temper a little but compared with some, he was an angel. He hated me walking on grass. He used to go for walks to stay fit. When there was exercise routines on tv, he used to do them. Seal's song ' A kiss from a Rose' is my song to him. I played it when I found out he had died. I was hurt because I was never 'up there' in his book, but I think he only hit me once and as I said compared to many he was an angel who lit up my life. I didn't cry much when he died. I shocked myself. I wasn't in a good place (things never really got better) but I prayed for him. He cried once, I can't remember him crying but the memory of his voice crying is strong if that makes sense. There aren't many people who haven't hurt me and I know I'm doing the poor me but it's like life or the candle which still shines (I have to remind myself of that sometimes) grew dimmer when he died. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiStix Posted April 24, 2020 #594 Share Posted April 24, 2020 This is not about someone who has passed (I don't believe). This is for someone who used to be on these forums. ExtemeX - Andrew We spent many an evening in discussions about everything from spirit to relationships, our families and our lives, finances and friends. We were very close although we never met. Somehow you found my telephone number back in the late 90s and early 00s and we spoke on the phone so much, and via MSN messenger and ICQ back in the day. Your even spoke with my parents. You and I had a soul connection. Whatever happened to our commutations? Last time we talked with the latter half of the 00s and you'd just experienced a relationship failure and had asked if I wanted to be your girlfriend (in a half joking way). Things were so crazy for me at that time in my life, and I did not have a lot of time to spend talking with you. I regret this! I had gone through a divorce and was a single mom at that time, struggling for some balance and reality. I used to live in Canada and you said you lived in Edinburgh. I loved your accent and talking with you for hours. You always sent me a photo of you that looked like it was from an old drivers license. It didn't really tell me what you looked like. I don't think I'd have minded how you looked, but wish you'd been more open to sharing how you really looked. I didn't keep any secrets but it seems you did. I've always been curious what has happened to you. I now live in England with my English husband and have even visited Edinburgh. We walked around the city and near the castle. You said you lived near the castle. I thought of you whilst I was there and wished I could meet you I think of you often. It goes to show how much a secretive but lovely person across the planet can affect another in positive ways. That I still think of you makes that very true. If you are still alive, I pray you'll find this someday and reach out. I will keep the email I use for this site open so if you ever do PM me, I will know. Andrew, I don't care who you really are, if you're actually who you said you were or not, how you look or whatever you were hiding for so long. I just want to finally meet my long lost online friend who's stayed with me in my thoughts all these years. I live in England now, so we could definitely meet when all this Covid-19 crap is over with. I hope wherever you are, life has been kind and full of love. If you have departed this world, then I hope you can hear my thoughts of you and know you still hold a special place in my heart. Missing you!

Indiogene Posted July 9, 2020 #599 Share Posted July 9, 2020 In my thoughts and prayers are the 550,000+ lives lost in the COVID Pandemic, these were people and lives we lost. Modern medicine and advanced science will prevail to save more lives and prevent any more illness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcgram Posted July 12, 2020 #600 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Goodbye Uncle Steve. You welcomed me into your family with open arms and insisted I call you "Uncle", even though it was by marriage. I will miss your sense of humor and yes, your stubbornness. Now you can rest and you are no longer in pain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
