I think that a child losing a parent can be one of our most difficult griefs to deal with. Especially when you are young. Parent's seem so strong, so forever there, for lack of a better term that to lose them early is an affront to nature. But the...
How beautiful and what a lovely gift for your mother.
Oh, Jennifer. I am so sorry. I Love You Forever, Forever My Child, is a poem I wrote about my dad. He died when I was five. While it doesn't compare to the loss of a daughter, the grief only differs in intensity. I cannot imagine the loss of a chi...

I Love you Forever - Forever My Child
I was sitting at work one day, thinking about my dad who has been gone for more years than I care to count. All of a sudden my fingers started twitching and I wrote this poem. I like to think he was standing next to me when I wrote it. Perhaps a gift for the child within who still grieves.

My laughter rings in your ears
like singing angels.
As your face shines with a light

The Perils of a Ghostwriting Copy-editor
