    Shirley, I thank you from The bottom of my heart for your kindness and caring for our pain in losing Aaron. I have said this many times through other deaths as well but I don't know how people without faith handle it. So yes, you are right thank God for His amazing grace. I thank you again for being so caring, and for the six stars and your kind comments

Oh, please accept my deepest condolences on this devastating loss of a beloved family member. They say - all is pre-ordained, life and death - but it doesn't make it less painful.

A wonderfully told poetic tale of a nice man with the right set of values and credos, a kind and caring family man, a good husband. God called him home, and I hope he is at peace where he is.

Please give my condolences to Becky and the kids - they will all meet again across the Gate, I am sure.

Thank you very much for sharing this.

Oh, Debi, I'm so sorry, and I'm literally in tears right now. What a horrible tragedy. I'm so glad you have poetry as a way of dealing with your emotions. I hope Becky and her children have some way to do that as well.

This poem is beautifully written, filled with love, emotion, sadness and pathos, all expressed with perfect rhythm and rhyme. Your repeated line got me every time I read it. It summed your emotions up so perfectly.

My condolences, and best wishes that you, your goddaughter and her family find peace.

    He Michelle, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and your caring support for our sad loss of Aaron. The hardest is watching Becky and the kids have to go through so much right now. I hope she has half of the support system with others as I have with all of my wonderful friends here. And thank you too for the gracious gift of six stars! Love you all and thank you so much.

    You're very welcome, Debi. I felt so badly when I read your story. No one should have to go through that. At least I'm glad that you're getting the amount of support that you are. You're so sweet, and you truly deserve the kindness of your friends and peers!

Debi,

This is a heartfelt write about the unexpected death of a loved one. I am sorry for your loss and offer prayers for the family. God blessed you the gift of turning a sad event into soothing words to offer comfort to the family impacted by Aaron's passing.

God Bless,

Eugene

I, at first, thought the poem was powerful and sad, as it covered a recent death of an important close relation. Then, when I discovered that the tragedy happened only yesterday (of this posting), I didn't know what to think. I still don't.

Hi Debi,
This poem shows your family's grief. The repetition adds to the sadness of the poem. It shows what a good man he was.
Sorry for your goddaughter's loss as well as your whole family's.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Oh, God, I am so very sorry for her (and all of your) loss! This is a beautiful poem and I would have rated it six stars, but I'm out. On another note, if Becky needs someone to talk to, please give her my email address. My husband adopted my kids as his own and was a wonderful father. I only lost him a little over three years ago. I did a program called Grief Share through the church that does help some, if any of you are interested in looking into that. My email is mchad1119@gmail.com.

I am so sorry for your Goddaughter's loss. I know how heavy the sudden unexpected loss can devastate a family and a mate.
In time, she will appreciate more the thoughts you put in rhyme.
Best wishes,
Mary
