Not only for your parents and all who love you but for all who know and have known you. It has been so always. To know you is to love you! Thank you for the beauty you bring into this world. Least of all your physical beauty....most of all for the beauty of your heart and spirit. You have a wonderful, loving, gift of words and soul that brings joy to those who celebrate and comfort to those who mourn. No greater pain can become a human than the loss of a child. The very thought seems unbearable to me. Mother Earth gives and she takes. At times she seems gracious and beautiful. Other times she appears cruel and ugly. Rhyme or reason which is beyond human comprehension. It is the rthythm of life. All mortal beings must one day return to their creator. We are but a moment upon this earth.....mere travelers in the river of mortal life. Hold fast those you love and remain eternally grateful. Compassion always for those who suffer. We carry the message. We cannot carry the one who suffers. All those who love must suffer.... as the tenderness of our heart weeps for our fellow man. To be otherwise is a sort of death....long before our days grow short. I love you, Dad Dearest Leigh,
