"Autumn Blessings for HERB"
Your spirit clothed my beauty
Slowly changing my colors
Walking hand in hand together
Touched with hearts of likeness
Like childeren we welcomed sunsets and sunrises
Laid down as One and marveled at the Heavens
Shared so many secrets
Tenderly wiping tears as rain from our faces
Gentleness is what you enveloped me with
Illuminating me with your presence
For all that I am or Become,You are a part of
My Beloved who embraced my seasons
I dedicate all the wonders of Autumn to You
Loving me is the gift you gave me
Feathers of Angels will rest on my limbs
As the wind caresses me like your breath
Let the stars sparkle your truth as I pray for you in the Heavens MY LOVE
I AM ONE WITH MYSELF AND ONE WITH ANOTHER
YOU FOR ME AND ME FOR THEE
All My Love, Autumn

My dad was an amazing person, a wonderful dad, grandfather and friend. I could go to my dad for anything, whether I needed help with something around my house or for advice, or just to visit. He touched everyone he met, he was just a genuine, caring person with a really big heart. He will never be forgotten, and could never be replaced. I love you dad, I hope you find peace, and know that Emma and Ethan will grow up knowing they had a wonderful grandfather who loved them with all his heart.
