very nice, a loved one never really leaves us for they remain close to our hearts and memories....Bob:)

an awesome piece as far as learned behavior is concerned, the vicious cycles of life need to be broken by those who are mentally stronger, the story is sad, but well told, don't be a victim by creating victims....God Bless....Bob:)

Just wanted to see what kind of stuff you write, considering you blasted mine, however in all fairness I found this to be an awesome piece and have never seen a tear expressed this way before, good job....Bob:)

The Japanese, who were the true originators of writing Haiku, considered children as the highest form of nature. Read Ho-Chu

absolutely divine, for every time we remember, they die again. As one who lost his brother in nam, I truly appreciate this...thank you
