The day before
Thanksgiving we lost someone dear
The day before
Life progressed without underscore
Taking for granted our time here
Moments slipped by without revere
The day before
Shawn and Scott Hosking May 2012

My heart is with you and your family, Veronica. Your verse, a bittersweet reminder to us all to not take the presence of life for granted.
Beautiful poem. When everything is okay, we tend to take life for granted. So sorry for your loss, Veronica.
The day after
Life changed drastically; we mourn
The day after
For we lost our brother’s laughter
No longer will he feel the scorn
But those he left now feel forlorn
The day after
….Oh, Veronica, my heart is so full for you and Shawn and ALL your family…it must be so terrible for Shawn and ANY man to lose a brother this way…simply because men are, even today, looked to, to remain stoic or calm…when what could more truthfully be needed is to stand atop some high place and howl in mourning…I hope and pray for a salve of some sort to provide you all with some possible comfort in your pain…one wants to reach out and help you shoulder this…if only one could…maybe just the knowledge that there are many holding you all in their heart will help somehow…
Thank you, Barbara. I do take comfort in all the kind words and feelings my friends share with me.

Happy birthday, Scott
August 24, 2015 would have been my brother-in-law’s 40th birthday. He is missed.
