                         Witness to life



I told people with my writing for many years. If the wars, don't stop. War will come to our doorstep. Today war had found our USA cities. The war came to my door-step one day, with lost of good friends. What can we do?

Old friend. Your face appeared in my thoughts. I face booked  your daughter and I felt great sadness for your beautiful little girls had become strong and wise woman. I do a silence prayer. You are watching them from above.

"I miss you my friend.
Our Summer get together are missed.
You watched my family grow and your children were my secondary family.
I remember the Christmas days surrounded by you and your girls.
You gave me a home in distance places.
Today my friend. I'm just a witness to life.
I tell a story about a soldier who was a good father and loved his children.


I learn a old quote is true. We must be a witness to life. Never allow the memory of a good man to be forgotten and ensure their children know. They were the love, of a Father's heart.

Loss of family or friend hurts, and all we are left with are memories. Valentine

You are right dear friend. Somehow we must keep them alive.

We are witness to the stories and their endings of those we love. Our gift is to never look away and to always remember.

You are right dear friend. Us writers have the paper and pen to keep faces alive in memory.

When memories are kept alive, no one is forgotten. I remember you writing about this friend before. Obviously he meant a great deal to you and you still feel the loss. Beautifully emotional. Lydi**

I remember you writing about your friend before. Very moving. It's sad that the girls grew up without their father but as you've said, it's important to share stories.
