I Found Myself Thinking of You

Neville

I Found Myself Thinking of You

 

I once found myself

Thinking of you

While my father lay dying in another room

 

The more

I dwell on such things

I realise that more than just a fragment of me

Died there too

    We who care deeply do really die in fragments when those we love have to say goodbye - I can relate to these tender words so well my friend.

    • Neville

      these words were some of the hardest ever to write, at least they were for me... and I can not adequately explain how grateful I am that you my friend.. and perhaps others too might be able to relate... Neville

      Neville,

      Oh yes...
      I most definitely can relate!
      It has been eight years, nine months, and seven days. It seems like just a few hours ago! Will always remember!
      Thank you for sharing your most personal moments!

      ~Laura~

        Bless you my friend, thank you for considering these words and the genuine empathy you share...

          A poignant and sensitive write Neville.
          My insensitive version is - What ya doing thinking of me? Ya must have remembered my singing, and gone mad! heehee.

          • Neville

            thank you orchidee.. and your singing never even crossed my mind..

            MY father and I were so close, he died in 1995 and I still think of him every day. A wonderful person who is still with me as I am sure your father is with you Neville.

            • Neville

              Yes indeed, I'm sure he is... and thank you GF60..

              Sad but very meaningful, I think we can all relate on some level

              • Neville

                You are far too kind again.... I am delighted to say..... thank you Seren...

                One thinks of those that one loves, when another loved one is leaving us.

                Heartfelt
