"Gone but not forgotten"

B 8-29-69 D 5-27-91

Don't think of him as gone away~
His journey has just begun,
Life holds so many facets~
This earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting~
From the sorrows and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort~
Where there are no days and years.
Think of how he must be wishing~
That we could know today,
How nothing but our sadness~
Can really go away.
And think of him as living~
In the hearts of those he touched...
For nothing loved is ever lost~
AND HE WAS LOVED SO MUCH.

If I leave here tomorrow would you still remember me
For I must be traveling on now cause there's to many places I got to see
But if I stay here with you
things just couldn't be the same
Cause I am free as a bird now
and
this bird you can not change

(words from Freebird
Leonard Skynard)

Last Picture

Begin and end the day with prayer, meditation, reflection

Do Not Stand At My Grave

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 the snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn's 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 star that shines at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there, I did not die.

Memories
My memories of you dance in my mind
The song plays over and over
Five years ago I was supposed to say goodbye
But the song still plays over and over
Today I will go to the river and cry
Listen as the song plays over and over
I will watch the carnation I drop float
As the song plays over and over
I will try to understand why you had to die
While the song plays over and over
I will once again attempt to say goodbye
But the song will never stop playing
If only in my memories....

It will be 7 yrs on May 27th since Jon died

To truly see

Beauty, one must

Not open

Only ones eyes

But ones heart

(poem on poster Jon gave me)

Jon loved Music, Unicorns,

And fast vehicles,

And people.

~~My Dear~~

As you read this letter, we would like
you to know that we miss you and that so much has changed because of you. We always thought this sort of thing happened to other people, not us.
Maybe in your heart, you thought you were doing us a favor by taking your own life. What hurts most is that you never really said good-bye or gave us a chance to say good-bye to you. Our eyes have been filled with tears as we've tried to change what has been, tried to understand your despair, your misery.
At times, we have been angry with you for what you did to yourself, for what you did to us. At times we've felt responsible for your death. We've searched for what we did or failed to do-- for the clues we missed. Yet we also know that no matter what, we couldn't choose for you. We are learning to stop feeling responsible for your death. If we were responsible for you, you'd still be alive!
We a think of you so often, even when it hurts to remember. Whenever we hear your songs, we still cry for you. We feel sad that you're not here to share so many events with us. Slowly, though, it's getting less hard. We try to remember the good times. Maybe, you've seen us smile a little more. Yes, we are learning to live again, realizing that we cannot die because you chose to die. We pray that you are at peace. At the end of our days, we look forward to being with you again.
Peace.
