Merry Christmas -- You are a beautiful family! This video will mean so very very much to the Penguin! You are so wise to keep such a wonderful photographic journal of your beautiful daughter. Thank you for sharing. Mariann
Thinking of you and Ed on this day that is so sad, and should be so joyous. May Hudson's spirit be with you as you travel, and may the Penguin squirm and wriggle with merriment and glee in it's warm little cave. Merry Christmas to you all.
christmas gifts all around all awake a precedent hard and strange at the onset but each will find a better way to love so to remain ...amanda what a gift the moments we share ..when dad told me (having spoken to you on christmas day) that you really needed that coat i could only smile and speak of how the history of that coat keeps us together (on christmas day) we are near each other while far away ... in absence we all felt the presence of sister and brother aunt and uncle daughter i as a brother uncle and fellow child celebrate through the depths of mourning through the wet cold dark ... i find the post christmas morning warm... may we easily feel the warmth of the sun through every veil ohh how we may and will i love you four for ever as in always bring a fifth sixth seventh and on each and all each would help me recall the heaven in the heart
overanalysis or simple observation either ... or this poem is for my subjective because beside the word daughter i meant to write son as ed is a great son to any father so amazing so good to feel how we know each other i love you ed
I have been reading your blog for several months now (1st when you wrote of losing your journal). I am a mom to a seven year old son and I live in SC. I don't comment on blogs. that being said, I also read a site called Babble under the Blog section Home/Work, and a blogger on it, Katie Allison Granju. She lost her 1st born child(17)in May and has 3 other children, the youngest born 5 weeks after the death of her son. As I was reading her blog tonight, after reading yours, I felt compelled to comment. I can't really explain, but I hope you will check out her blog. She also has a personal blog, Mamapundit.com. I hope you've experienced some joy anmd peace in Paris this Christmas. I can not imagine how you must feel and pray to God that I never experience it.
Merry Christmas Mandy and Ed. Love to you, Hudson, and the Penguin.

ReplyDeletegifts all around
all awake
a precedent
hard and strange
at the onset
but each will find
a better way to love
so to remain
...amanda
what a gift
the moments we share
..when dad told me
(having spoken to you on christmas day)
that you really needed that coat
i could only smile and speak
of how the history of that coat
keeps us together
(on christmas day)
we are near each other
while far away
...
in absence
we all felt the presence of
sister and brother
aunt and uncle
daughter
i as a brother
uncle
and
fellow
child
celebrate
through the depths
of mourning
through the wet cold dark
...
i find the post christmas morning
warm...
may we easily feel
the warmth of the sun
through every veil
ohh how we may
and will
i love you four
for ever
as in always
bring a fifth
sixth
seventh
and on
each and all
each would help me
recall
the heaven in the heart
overanalysis
ReplyDeleteor simple observation
either
...
or
this poem is for
my subjective
because
beside
the word daughter
i meant to write son
as ed is a great son
to any father
so amazing
so good to feel how
we know each other
i love you ed
