Remembering

This weekend marks the 10 year mark of Carl's passing (Monday). I'm sitting here, thinking of Father's day, and those poems I'm seeing on Facebook about Fathers who have passed on. They are lovely poems. I know my Father is still with us, as is my Father - in - Law, and I love them both dearly, and wish them a Happy Father's Day, even though I won't see them tomorrow. I'll be working.
But I'm thinking of my own children. Their father has passed on, and I can only imagine what they are thinking and feeling. I lost my wonderful husband, but they lost their loving and well loved Dad. I'm sure the feeling is somewhat different, especially since he left us so young.
My heavens, 10 years. So hard to believe it has been so long, we all still miss him so much.

If Roses grow in Heaven, Lord, Pick a bunch for me
Place them in my husband's (father's) arms and tell him they're from me
Tell him that I love and miss him, and when he turns to smile
Place a kiss upon his cheek, and hold him for a while
Because remembering him is easy, I do it every day
There's an ache within my heart that will never go away.

Just how I'm feeling and what I'm thinking. . . . .
