A Wish for a Friend

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.


An Irish Funeral Prayer

Death is nothing at all.
 It does not count.
 I have only slipped away into the next room.
 Everything remains as it was.
 The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
 Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
 Call me by the old familiar name.
 Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
 Put no sorrow in your tone. 
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
 Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. 
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
  Let it be spoken without effort
. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
 There is unbroken continuity.
 Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?  
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
  All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
 One brief moment and all will be as it was before.  
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.

missing you and thinking of you

Love you and miss you and mom so much

My thoughts my prayers are always with you,Miss you so.

Hi Pop, always thinking of you lovingly.

Still pulling for you from down here Pop! Say hi to Nan from all of us the next time you two are together again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD MISS YOU

forever in my thoughts
