Touched by his life
we go on without him beside us.
Touched by his life
we proceed with a void that is real.
Touched by his life
we know nothing will ever be the same.
Be we are
Moved by his presence
in each leaf that blows in the wind,
in each bird that sings a song of freedom,
in each child that laughs in the joy of the moment.
Brad is around us
guiding, shepherding, caring, loving.
He appears without warning
when we need to be comforted.
He reminds us that life is to be cherished
for the time spent together.
Memories abound
with joy and sadness intertwined.
Missing his is always there.
But we are
better for
having knowing him,
having loved him,
having cared for him.
Brad, we love you, and Dad who is with you!
Mom and Doug
