ForeverMissed

This is the memorial web page in memory of our loved one, NilsAxel Arvidsson, 76, born on January 20, 1937 in Lindesberg, Sweden, and passed away on September 19, 2013 in Sarasota, Florida, USA. We will remember him forever. He was a joy to be around and an inspiration for life and perseverance. 

I Am There...

Look for me when the tide is high
And the gulls are wheeling overhead
When the autumn wind sweeps the cloudy sky
And one by one the leaves are shed
Look for me when the trees are bare
And the stars are bright in the frosty sky
When the morning mist hangs on the air
And shorter darker days pass by.

I am there, where the river flows
And salmon leap to a silver moon
Where the insects hum and the tall grass grows
And sunlight warms the afternoon
I am there in the busy street
I take you hand in the city square
In the market place where the people meet
In your quiet room - I am there

I am the love you cannot see
And all I ask is - look for me

In memory of Nils.

I wish I could go back to the past,
of Christmases long ago.
I wish I could see my loved ones
who have passed on long ago.

Hej Pappa,
I’m back in Florida can you believe it? Happy to be close to Stina and Anna but it was difficult to say goodbye to friends and John. They promised to come visit me :)
I went to Robinson park today on Father’s Day. Remember when Anna and I ran 5K and you, mom and Lars came to cheer? So many wonderful memories here... HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to the best dad in the world.

College

September 27, 2013

I wanted to go to this one PE/gymnastics school really badly but I was too young and put on a waiting list. Dad said - Don't give up, call them every day. So I did for 60 days! I did get in.
