I know they were never taken away but I remember our departure like it was yesterday.
Nothing has been the same from when they both entered my life starting in September 2004, like a new birth month to share.
Avoiding or getting drunk this was a month to forget, from a teen the day of my birth I wanted to forget.
Now it is here all over again as my three weeks have ended and I'm looking at their empty beds.
I made a choice 8 years ago and every weekend that was mine I filled with joy, broke down each time we said goodbye but always to return with a heartfelt smile.
They joined me at the sea in great company, to see it all end and me crash down again. Together we strolled knowing we all been here before, you never know what's behind every door.
4 years ago I met a soul like mine, had her own crew and we was both looking to find what hadn't yet been found.
On this next cycle of letting out my cry, I see an angel stands before my eyes. There may be other ones out there but I'm so unbelievably blessed with mine, for never did I think I'd find another to have my child.
September is here and every day is gift knowing all the love that I have to give, dark days will still knock on my door but my light inside will never turn off.
I have never had an idea of who I would be but in the eyes of my family I'm all I need to be.
Letting go everyday to start a new story
Thank you for coming along with me

You always find hope when you least expect it. Wonderful write, Dan.
Even more so when I see your name reminding me the power of my flame.
Always appreciated my friend
"In the eyes of my family i am all i need to be" .... wonderful!
What more could a man ask?
Thank you my friend that line was very healing to write and why I love doing what I do. Just to find one simple little thought, what more could I ask for?... Nothing buddy, nothing at all
Always appreciate your time
Reading this, I feel such a sense of belonging and contentment. Family in all of its forms at the very centre. Like a previous comment, the line '' in the eyes of my family I'm all I need to be. '' is truly humbling and breathtaking in its honest simplicity.
A great read!

Dan,
Yes, so true...
‘The most important person to keep your promises to, is yourself’
These words are so powerful and inspirational as are your words...

Your family is always there for you no matter how far away they appear to be - and you are always there for them.
