I came across this poem, and was in awe. I lost my father 5 days after my 9th birthday to a hit and run, he was walking to his bus stop on his way to work, and I vehicle ran a red light, killed him, and didn't even slow down. It makes me sick to think about, and thinking about all the poems, articles, essays, books, storries that people have tried to comfort me with. This is one that has actually move me in an incredible way. Thank you for listening to my thoughts, keep up the beautiful writings.<br />-Alexandra.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22942201.post-1454539658261948082009-06-09T05:35:24.076+05:302009-06-09T05:35:24.076+05:30That was so beautifully and eloquently written.That was so beautifully and eloquently written.Site managerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02952854124426393851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22942201.post-86800574731200426412009-06-09T00:48:25.599+05:302009-06-09T00:48:25.599+05:30Yes ... that is totally my life!

I was in school when my father died, and I have tried to help my mom ever since: Help her make decisions that my father and her would have made, gave her a place to live so that she wouldn't be homeless, and lived alone, it seems, for so long everyone thinking we're crazy. Maybe we are, but maybe everyone around us is completely inexperienced with the darker side of life.<br /><br />Kim Carolan<br />President, Carolan Creative Enterprises, LLC<br />http://walkingthroughthevalleyoftheshadow.blogspot.com<br />www.strategicbookpublishing.com/walkingthroughthevalleyoftheshadowofdeath.htmlKimberly Carolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13388301821439388603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22942201.post-54346626230384036552009-06-08T20:39:07.569+05:302009-06-08T20:39:07.569+05:30Thank you all for the hugs and support.

I cant even tell you how much I felt these were my own feelings!<br />My father passed away after a prolonged illness when I was in class 7 and I am the only child of my parents and at that age, I did not even have a full grasp of the permanence of death. The reality hit hard only months later . All I made sure I did was keep my mother away from the prying questions of the relatives as to how much assets he had left behind and such insensitive stuff!<br /><br />HUGS!!Prashanti :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16597897057440567566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22942201.post-7765154912231234052009-06-08T01:37:49.682+05:302009-06-08T01:37:49.682+05:30Hugs Unmana.
