Poetry

I can see from your words how much you cared for Tommy, not just when it was easier, but also in those difficult times as he neared the end. It's obvious from your actions caring for him that your love was deep.

You are right to value your memories, no matter how difficult it is. So many people go through the death process anonymously in a hospital, without friends or relatives. I know that he was glad you were there to see him through, as that is one of the greatest acts of love someone can give.

I wrote this poem as encouragement not to take relationships for granted. Time has that nasty habit of sneaking up on us before we can express ourselves to our partner in life. Knowing you are loved at the end must be the greatest comfort.

Thank you for your encouragement. There are days I wonder why I keep posting these poems, but for all the people who click on them, that one person who says they are touched by them gives me the motivation to continue.

Thanks again,

The Madcap
