My son passed away at 29 years old. It's been five years, but seems like just yesterday. He was my baby boy. Went to sleep and never woke up. That was by far the worst day of my life. I miss him so much. This is the worst pain.
I lost my brother in 2020 to cancer. He was only 46 and died within weeks of diagnosis. I cannot move on. I am still devastated and my life has deteriorated rapidly since then. Your poem is beautiful. Thank you.
I memorized " Sea Fever" in seventh grade English class. I was 14 years old. A year later I went to sea for the first time for fourteen days as a deckhand fisherman. The next summer I spent another two weeks at sea

Hi Ann,spring certainly raises the spirits, your poem says it all, sending you my seasons greetings. God bless.
Very nice Ann! Beautifully written and I can tell you enjoy your garden. May is my favorite month of the year. Everything that appeared old is young again.
Linda and I were those friends who wouldn't see each other for years, yet when we next met up we would start again where we left off. We hadn't been in contact for several years, which was usual for us but I had cause to contact a mutual friend recently and asked if he had contact details for Linda because I thought she had retired. He told me that Linda had died from cancer some years ago. The shock was like being punched in the stomach or having ice cold water thrown over you. I had no idea she'd been ill, let alone died. I have recently made contact with her husband and he has let me know what happened and told me where she was resting. I shall visit her in a week or two and lay flowers but I would also like to leave a verse or something to let her know how sad I am. Life can be so unfair.
I lost my one and only baby girl on May 7th 2015 at 8:05pm at the coast general referral hospital in Msa Kenya. She was born on 5th May with a cleft lip palate(easily correctable) but she died of nurse's negligence. She was feeding her while chatting with colleagues and not paying attention to my baby, I noticed and how she was leaving her unattended and asked her respectfully but she retorted and asked me if I was teaching her how to work....shortly after I noticed white stuff coming from the nose and on asking her she hurriedly checked, what followed was nurses coming and leaving and then a clinical officer, then a doctor, within no time, sucking pipes, oxygen etc...that marked the beginning of sleepless night and stress and by Thursday 7th May 2015, the worst happened. The pain of leaving the hospital with a dead child, burying that beautiful smile and going home empty handed...I mourn her almost daily, the pain of never getting another girl is even harder to handle...
Thank you so much, so happy you enjoyed it!
Have a blessed day,
~Lisa
