An Apology For Being Thoughtless
2003-12-06/7:15 p.m.
To begin this entry I have to say to Alexis that your updatewas so wonderful that it really has put things into perspective for me.

As you know, my dad has cancer. And you probably know as well that I've begun flipping out about him going in for treatment and all. I've realized that my dad has lived a full life. There are six children to attest to that. He's a good man and I love him.

I've realized that through this whole thing I've become increasingly selfish. In my throwing off of any faith that I may have forgotten that God does have plans for people. Maybe it was God's plan for Eric. That boy is probably off to be the guardian angel of someone. Maybe this is just a step in the road that my dad's gotta take, and I'm here to help him through it.

I apologize to you all who may be going through the same things that Eric did and my dad is. I have no right to be as selfish as I have been.

May God bless you and keep you close to his heart.

You were once

my one companion . . .

you were all

that mattered . . .

You were once

a friend and father -

then my world

was shattered . . .

Wishing you were

somehow here again . . .

wishing you were

somehow near . . .

Sometimes it seemed

if I just dreamed,

somehow you would

be here . . .

Wishing I could

hear your voice again . . .

knowing that I

never would . . .

Dreaming of you

won't help me to do

all that you dreamed

I could . . .

Passing bells

and sculpted angels,

cold and monumental,

seem, for you,

the wrong companions -

you were warm and gentle . . .

Too many years

fighting back tears . . .

Why can't the past

just die . . .?

Wishing you were

somehow here again . . .

knowing we must

say goodbye . . .

Try to forgive . . .

teach me to live . . .

give me the strength

to try . . .

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
