Another Email I received from my dad on June 16th...11 days before he passed away.

Hi Robin,
             Here's some more of my thoughts as reflected in this little poem. Perhaps it has no important or significance to you.....and that's quite all right with me. Yet....I wanted to share with you .....feel more than free to zap it into cyber space.
             I hope and trust that you are getting along ok. Please take care of your health...especially at this once in a life time event.
                                                                       Love,
                                                                          Daddy 
                                           
                                                          The Past

Living in the moment is the way to be....dwelling on the past...will never set you free.
Each conscious second is as precious as the last...yet being in the present is always a task.
We ponder days gone by wishing for change...But alas..it's ludicrous for it will eternally remain the same.
Why do we reflect and dream in this past....knowing each moment could be our last?
Memories hint of how we might change....yet to dream in the past is truly insane.
So dwell in the future my incarnate fool.....as moment follows moment in this brief living school.
                                                         Robert French Charles

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief

Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
