For everyone that has recentley lost someone.

[magnuslion]

My mother passed away last night at 3:30am PST. She fought cancer for two months, and bad health due to asthma and other breathing complications her whole life. I wanted this to be for everyone who has last someone recently, or for anyone who still feels a loss deeply.

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

death is a capricious thing,
it comes it goes and nobody knows,
for them when the bell tolls...

srry for the loss, it never gets any easier

OP, for what it is worth you have my deepest condolences
My grandfather passed away from I think it was liver cancer two years ago in march, and my cousin's husband at the funeral sang "the wind beneath my wings" it was a beautiful moment. My grandpa was one of the best men I have ever known.
