Padding the lead won't be as much fun under the circumstances!

I know but look at it like this

Catching up gives me something to look forward too

when this is all over

 

[kaylajr]

Kayla - Look for "He's not gone, he's just away!" It helped me through losing my dad and it is beautiful!

I have to head to work (I'm late already) but if you haven't found it by this evening I'll search and see if I can find it.

Gotta run!

Good Morning All!

Very sad morning for our area and I would like to ask for prayers for a local family and also for DH.

Last night (around 11:30) one of the guys on DH's shift passed an apartment complex and saw smoke. He called it in. DH was less than a mile away and was on the scene in less than a minute. He and the other deputy started going door to door to find the fire and get the residents out. One apartment door opened and the flames rolled out. About six people got out of that apartment. The woman was screaming for her girls but neither DH or the deputy could get back in because of the flames. Three little girls did not make it out. DH thought they were 6, 7 and 8. The woman and her husband escaped with their one year old. I cannot even imagine their pain as I am crying just from typing this.

DH is dealing with the helpless feeling of not being able to get in there. He is also dealing with the absolute anger that he is feeling. This complex houses mostly hispanics. The slum lord had no working smoke detectors and no fire extinguishers in the complex! If there had been a smoke detector they may have known sooner; if there had been a fire extinguisher DH and the deputy may have had a little chance before the FD got there.

It's just so sad.

So please remember this family!

OMG! That is so sad. Your DH did what he could.

Kayla - I want to say I am sorry for your loss and remember he is at peace now.

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

~ Mary Elizabeth Frye

Kayla -

He is Gone

You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your
back,
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes,
love and go on.

Your Father You could probably change that to Grandfather.

Your father's time has come to go,
Now that God has beckoned him so,
The door of life has opened wide,
To let him through and pass inside.

Who are we to say
When and where we go?
It is not for us to choose,
Who we love or who we lose.

Before you shed a painful tear,
Whisper in his waiting ear,
"Farewell, my darling Dad,
Farewell, for all the love we've had."

Miss Me, But Let Me Go
Author Unknown.

When I come to the end of the road,
and the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little—but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that was once shared.
Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take,
and each must go alone.
It’s all a part of the master’s plan,
a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
go to the friends we know.
Bear your sorrow in good deeds. Miss me,
but let me go.

You know what is best for you.

GRIEF IS LIKE A RIVER
By Cinthia G. Kelley

My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
but I myself determine
just where the banks will go.

Some days the current takes me
in waves of guilt and pain,
but there are always quiet pools
where I can rest again.

I crash on rocks of anger;
my faith seems faint indeed,
but there are other swimmers
who know that what I need

Are loving hands to hold me
when the waters are too swift,
and someone kind to listen
when I just seem to drift.

Grief's river is a process
of relinquishing the past.
By swimming in hope's channels,
I'll reach the shore at last.
