Kai Michael Neumann February 3, 2020 at 4:11 AM Condolences. Thank you for sharing, Kai Juliet Ligon February 6, 2020 at 2:26 PM Thanks, Kai. A couple people at work had lost their father recently, and even having gone through it too, there's always a loss for words.

Silent One January 14, 2020 at 1:05 PM Oh I see the two poems... Very clever and we'll done Juliet Ligon January 15, 2020 at 10:57 AM Thanks, Silent One. The idea was from one of Brian Stand's blog challenges.

Harry Horsman January 13, 2020 at 9:07 AM Love the message here and the tribute, Juliet. Juliet Ligon January 13, 2020 at 10:13 PM Thanks, Harry.

Line Gauthier January 12, 2020 at 9:34 PM Well done, Juliet. Juliet Ligon January 13, 2020 at 9:07 PM Thanks, Line. I've heard it said that sometimes it's better to hold your tongue in tough times like this. A friend of mine once said, "I hope you told him you loved him.... Did you?" (Referring to my dad after his passing.) I told her I didn't. (And it secretly upset me because those aren't words we used in our family, so it didn't even cross my mind.)

Sandra Adams January 12, 2020 at 6:22 PM nicely done Juliet... see they are easy and kind of fun are they not? glad to see you give it a try ...best wishes my friend :) hugs Juliet Ligon January 12, 2020 at 6:28 PM Thanks, Sandra. I agree, fun and easy. I got down to line four and I subconsciously had FATH, so I decide to make it an acrostic as well with FATHER. Was great to see your example for inspiration. Poetic hugs.
