when I was to tired to carry myself and showed me that this "Rev Family" was in truth a family and not just another way to sell product. You loved me when all around me was dark and I could'nt understand where my life was going nor what to do next..... Today I went back and looked at a lot of those old posts and once again gathered strength from them because it's getting to be that time again and I get sad and I still miss Mary so very much and am still at a lose at why things happen.... Then when it all seems to be to much I go back and see these things from all of you like this poem Big Bri sent me when I was at "Ground Zero".......
A Native American Prayer
I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still - in each new dawn.
Or the note from Jynx telling me it would be okay, and the strength from Amy who had her own dragons to slay, and the stuff from iQuad that told me I was never alone..... Ya life is funny and you just never know what tomorrow will bring but I'll tell you one thing if it wans'nt for the "Family" we created I'm damn sure my tomorrows would have been a lot darker. So as the days pass and time seems to run through life I'd ask each of you to look up to the sky and remember this was never about just kites, but about "Family" and giving when you can and getting when you need it and about a fat, old, grumpy
guy who gave you a chance to look thru his eyes even when there was a tear in them from blowing sand and I'd ask you all to remember the greatest gift in the world is "Family" and it may be the dark side but it sure brings you in to the light.......
