ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for the loss of your son. May it comfort your heart to know that all the love you gave him and all the warm memories are alive as his soul is.
ReplyDeleteDo not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I did not die.

I served at Fort Sam Houston with Lee. I stood in formation with him for 16 weeks and hung out with him, Higuchi, Heath, Holt, Kisler, and others on weekends.
ReplyDeleteI miss you all. Lee, it isn't the same without you.
