it[a] created the angel, i [e]love most of[a] all.

hi kap54 i lost my dad in 2006 he sufered with illness for 7yrs so it was a kind of release for him that it was finally over and for us having to see him sufer and knowing we could'nt do nothing to releave his pain,we miss him loads ,i sit with my mother every night to listen to her, memories give a few words of comfort ,and to hear her request that when she goes she does'nt want reviving ,she won't see a doctor,she's got bad legs,keps getting pains in her chest,puts on a brave face every day ,only family that keeps her going,i know she wants to go join dad ,and we have to hide our felings so as not to upset her,but its something we must all bear with any loved ones.
a great song....stay cool
