That poem is great and very touching and exactly what I was looking for. I lost my husband Jan. 25, 2005 and it will be one year coming soon and I will bereading your poem out loud on the 25th of this month in a reunion that we are having on that day. I imagine you most of lost someone two to come up with this great poem. I will be quoeting your poem and I will be sending my friend that lost her man the same day as me. Both of our men were killed by an *sshole that didn't think about what they were leaving behind. Now we are two single mothers struggling to raise our kids, she has two and I have tweo chidren.
