I see you have not updated it in nearly three months, and I encourage you to start again. If you are still grieving over the loss of your father, perhaps this will help. It is a poem by Gwendolyn Brooks about the death of her father: A dryness is upon the house My father loved and tended. Beyond his firm and sculptured door His light and lease have ended,. He walks the valleys, now -replies To sun and wind forever No more the cramping chamber’s chill, No more the hindering fever. Now out upon the wide clean air My father’s soul revives, All innocent of self-interest And the fear that strikes and strives. He who was Goodness, Gentleness, And Dignity is free, Translates to public Love Old private charity. I was just perusing the web when I came across this page.

A dryness is upon the house
My father loved and tended.
Beyond his firm and sculptured door
His light and lease have ended,.

He walks the valleys, now -replies
To sun and wind forever
No more the cramping chamber’s chill,
No more the hindering fever.

Now out upon the wide clean air
My father’s soul revives,
All innocent of self-interest
And the fear that strikes and strives.

He who was Goodness, Gentleness,
And Dignity is free,
Translates to public Love
Old private charity.

Know that we're thinking of you and sending thoughts of comfort and peace your way. Love, Jill and Michael Dear Aliki,
