I've been a member of this forum for over a decade so I felt I needed to post here to let you know I'm leaving.

It's not for the politics, or the rancor, or any of the reasons that I would have assumed it would be.

We had a tragedy in my family yesterday. My beautiful daughter went to sleep last night and never woke up.

As much as I am hurting right now, I have a wife and a younger daughter that I need to be there for. My daughters were best friends.

We have hard years ahead of us, and it's time to focus on what matters.

Maybe I'll see you all again in better times.

Peace to all. Prayers appreciated if you have them.

May this poem bring you some comfort, as it once did me.

The Rose Still Grows beyond the Wall​


by A. L. Frink
Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God's free light,
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and night.

As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall,
Through which there shone a beam of light.

Onward it crept with added strength,
With never a thought of fear or pride.
It followed the light through the crevice's length
And unfolded itself on the other side.

The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before;
And it lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing its fragrance more and more.

Shall claim of death cause us to grieve,
And make our courage faint or fail?
Nay! Let us faith and hope receive:
The rose still grows beyond the wall.

Scattering fragrance far and wide,
Just as it did in days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will for evermore.

Be well my friend. Thoughts and prayers in abundance!
 
You and your family have a long and difficult path before you and I hope the bumps and ditches won't be so many or so bad. I wish you the best. I wish you to be good at keeping your wits about you in even the most difficult times coming up. And being able to give excellent guidance to loved ones that turn to you for help.

And don't forget that some in this community might just be able to help with advice from time-to-time. Keep the faith!

Praying for you and your family.
 
I'm so very, very sorry for your loss, it's unimaginable to most. May you find the strength you need to get you and your family to a place of peace.
 
Condolences and sympathy to you and your family. There is little comfort in enduring the loss of a cherished loved one. But perhaps these lines from an anonymous poet might help just a little bit.

God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth,
And saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
