Acually for me. Writing about it helped alot. I took something that was so beautiful and precious and also so sad and depressing and put it into a poem that has been enjoyed by alot of people. it seems to me to be a good tribute to him. The poem I wrote will be posted once the contest is finnished.

Much love to you in your time of grief...Take care and remember there are people hear who are willing to listen like me!! My baby girl is on my page they are right the 3rd time is a charm...Life does get better trust me!
