I was lost for words and can't understand the depth of such lost. That made me write what I felt as a mother. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the "PS"lovelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867259873586524785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947625928985670113.post-75718776031484728462007-08-17T06:42:00.000-07:002007-08-17T06:42:00.000-07:00It's so difficult for anyone to loose someone.

But it really hits you in the gut when someone from back home has been another casualty.<BR/><BR/>My thoughts and prayers are with Michael's family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947625928985670113.post-6129100360541697832007-08-15T21:34:00.000-07:002007-08-15T21:34:00.000-07:00Thank you trublue!The funeral, emotions and turn o...Thank you trublue!<BR/>The funeral, emotions and turn out of events are absorbing enough yet you managed to gave us a comment. <BR/><BR/>Our thoughts and prayers to Michael and his family.lovelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867259873586524785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947625928985670113.post-30967624491655319542007-08-15T11:31:00.000-07:002007-08-15T11:31:00.000-07:00In the Kennedy Clan where the late Rose Kennedy ke...In the Kennedy Clan where the late Rose Kennedy kept burying her sons and daughters, somehow I thought she said, "it's you my children who should bury me, not the other way around".<BR/>To me the grief doubles up when this occurs as it was with you Lovelyn and now Mario and Heidi.<BR/>Depending on the set-up of the program during Michael's funeral, I'll make the effort to read your <BR/>impressive yet somber poem. Othewise, I'll give a copy to Heidi<BR/>as a memento. Or maybe Michael's cousin John Tanacio, will have the opportunity to read it. <BR/>Michael is a returning hero in different form, so the event I'm sure will be elevated as the presence of highly ranking military<BR/>and local officials is expected.<BR/>I'll be there to bid goodbye and will catch a red-eye if I have to.<BR/>On behalf of Michael's family, I thank you for the poem.

I saw her pain and what she said stayed in my 12 year old mind, "Apay nga inmuna ka? Ikali dak pay met kumma a anak ko!" as she cried and and run her fingers on my uncle's hair.lovelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867259873586524785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947625928985670113.post-91881874558112761042007-08-14T21:26:00.000-07:002007-08-14T21:26:00.000-07:00It's a very touching poem.
