Another Email I received from my dad on June 16th...11 days before he passed away.

Hi Robin,
             Here's some more of my thoughts as reflected in this little poem. Perhaps it has no important or significance to you.....and that's quite all right with me. Yet....I wanted to share with you .....feel more than free to zap it into cyber space.
             I hope and trust that you are getting along ok. Please take care of your health...especially at this once in a life time event.
                                                                       Love,
                                                                          Daddy 
                                           
                                                          The Past

Living in the moment is the way to be....dwelling on the past...will never set you free.
Each conscious second is as precious as the last...yet being in the present is always a task.
We ponder days gone by wishing for change...But alas..it's ludicrous for it will eternally remain the same.
Why do we reflect and dream in this past....knowing each moment could be our last?
Memories hint of how we might change....yet to dream in the past is truly insane.
So dwell in the future my incarnate fool.....as moment follows moment in this brief living school.
                                                         Robert French Charles

Hitting me

My daughter did MAID last Tuesday and I've been holding up okay.But just now the Christmas convoy (trucks all lit up that do an organized drive through our small town) went by and suddenly I just started crying, thinking how my girl won't be around to have these small moments. And not that she would have - she wasn't a huge Christmas or celebration person. So I don't know why I'm sitting here crying about it.Oh this is going to hurt a lot :-(See More
