Our Fathers
Our fathers
Who are,
Or aren't,
In heaven.
Who are,
Or aren’t,
Here with us
Today.
We remember you,
And love you.
For all that you are,
And all that you were.
For lifting us up on your shoulders and carrying us high.
For teaching us to dance with our feet on yours.
For the smell of your aftershave lingering behind you.
For your voice on the phone, no matter where you were.
For playing catch, chess, cards and cigars.
For holding us tight,
For letting us go.
Our fathers.......
We thank you.
We miss you,
We love you.
Sigh. He was a wonderful father.

Oh Cathy
I decided to visit after such a long absence from here. I am glad I didn't read this on father's day I would have been a bawling; I don't know what I mean here on a hot July day I was bawling reading it. Fathers they should live forever and ever and ever. At least they can't take the memories away from us.
Cathy, I just found your blog a few days ago. My wife has been fighting cancer for 5 1/2 years now. She has fought as hard as she can, but I fear the fight is almost over. Reading about Lou's fight...your fight...has been more than helpful. I think about what is to come and wonder if I can handle it. Seeing how you have is a blessing. DB
