Quiet Reflections

Times gone by, all too fast
Times of reflection, back to the past

My Dad died suddenly, my world blew apart
I felt so much guilt, where should i start

Not seeing him enough is my biggest regret
But memories of Dad i'll never forget

These last 2 months full of sadness and joy
My new grandson Ralph a bonnie wee boy

Estranged brothers and sisters together we came
Our lives for sure will never be the same

Some of us have bonded, some of us not
I'm happy and thankful for all that i've got

Now for me i wish to stand out in the crowd
Purely for me to make my Dad proud

A new venture, a new shop, this is for me
I want to do well, for all that know me.

It feels good to write a blog again. I even had the courage to stand up in front of many people at my Dads funeral and read a poem i wrote especially for him, which before i started blogging, i would never have done, so i am very grateful to all here that made me feel so welcome.
The picture is of Mum and Dad, with their first 4 , 2 more followed. I love this photograph, i think my Mum looks so glamorous, and me, i am on the right, i look very moody for some reason...

    Nice to see you back. I am so sorry to hear about your father. My sincere condolences to you and your family. And brave you for reading your poem.
Thankyou Misty so much...it is nice to be back....4 of the 6 children got up to read their tributes to Dad...it was the hardest thing, but a great feeling too....My Mum, who is called 'Vera' had Vera Lynns song 'We'll meet again' played at the end...it was heart wrenching...
