Ryan "Happy New Year"

I went to visit my brother Ryan on New Years! It was a good day...
The loss of a loved one can be very tragic. Even supporting someone who has lost someone close in passing can be very difficult. Death is not an easy subject for anyone. Often your emotions are so stirred up that it can be very difficult to come up with words of condolence. Sometime you find yourself not saying anything at all and that can be even worse than saying the wrong thing. It is hard to know just what to do. Poems for lost loved ones can be the perfect way to get across what you want to say. Poetry is one of the truest and most beautiful ways to say goodbye to someone who has passed away. For generations, families have used poetry to express their love, their sorrow and their hope. Whether you write a poem yourself or use the words of someone else, memorial poems are one of the best ways to show you care when grief or bereavement may make it difficult to express your heart.

One of my favorite poems is below, Footprints in the Sand. This poem was read at Ryan's funeral... We miss you Ryan! We think of you everyday throughout the year!
