Four Now Two
At 10pm last night the phone call came.
Life had ended for Clement E. Waggoner.
No more pain.
No more problems to contend with.
For his brother Daniel and I another empty spot in our hearts.
Rest well my brother the trials are over.
I post not to ask for comfort but to acknowledge his passing. Life is done.
Where once there were four now there are two is all my heart will let my mind remember.
Life continues until it is our turn.

I know you ask for no comfort, but oh how I wish comfort for you. I wish I had magical words to help you through your grief, but I know too well, magical words for a time like this simply do not exist. I will hold you in my thoughts today.

Another place, another way
Hold me close deep in your heart
And in that way we’ll never partDo the things we liked to do
If not for me than just for you
Look to joy, in all you see
Smile and let your heart be freeStrength’s not just in living or
standing through the pain
It’s also in the letting go
accepting life’s refrainRemember that I’ll be there
for the things you do
And always be
a part of youPosted by on 07/07 at 08:18 PMMy comfort came from knowing he didn’t hurt anymore!
But thank you both for your kind thoughts.

My thoughts are with you and your family.
