September 20, 2011
I do sit at your grave and weep and I know you are not there.I want to feel you in the breeze I want to feel you in the rain. I go early to try and feel you in the morning rain. I dont fee youin the sunshine or the stars that light up the night. I don't feel you in all the flowers we planted that now are starting to bloom. I never feel you all those times I'm trying to in a quiet room. I look for you in the birds that sing I look for you in every loving thing. I look and try feeling your love and never find anything.

My deepest sympathy to those who know and love you. Here is a poem that I hope may bring some comfort to those who miss you. Godspeed my friend.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
