Many blessings and thanks to dear Passim for donating a stunning 2000 points for my contest, thank you so much!
Many thanks to KayJay46 for his donate on 2000 points, You are such a kind soul.
A million thanks to AngelWithDarkWings for donating 1000 points, this is more then I could ever ask for!
If this keeps up I will have a pot so large that this will end up as a huge contest, I thank you all for donating these hard earning points, they are deeply appreciated!
This contest is dedicated to my step dad who sadly passed away this day, driving the roads delivering goods his heart stopped beating. None knows why, he didn't even seem ill and never did he complain!
In this contest you can write one or several poems about anything, as long as it is dedicated to either me or my step dad.
Even words of comfort is enough, it doesn't even have to look like a poem. Just tell me how to easier get over the pain, or maybe share your own pain with all of us, try to cheer me up, or just let me know you care.
Rules are not needed in here, but I kindly ask of you to use your common sense.
You can enter as many times as you want, points and trophy's will be added if I get enough points for it and I will not be able to read all poems and comment on them right away and the contest may be extended depending on how well I manage the shock.
An extra request, I would appreciate if one took the challenge to write a goodbye poe, since I feel like I won't be able to it. You will have one week from now to do so.
I thank you all in advance for you taking the time to enter this contest, and your care. Now excuse me, I am going to cry a bit more...

aww honey im so so sorry, Getting over soemones death can be hard and you never really get over them but you move on because if you think about it wherever they are afterlife..heaven anywhere they wouldnt want you to put a halt to your life.. to your education and the things you enjoy they would want you to move along and be strong for them..unfortunately death is hard part of life and in the long period it makes us much stronger. if you need to vent or anything feel free to message me and ill try to comfort you
ill try to write but if i cant ill be here in im's or ill try to write a poemish thingy in letter form
-
-
Thank you so much for your care, and it does not need to be in poem form, right now just a hug is enough.
The hardest part is trying to pretend everything is okay at school tomorrow before I can head home. -
-
hmm whenever someone really close dies to me i usually take 2-3 days off because well you need it. you need to take a break. to think logically and just..breathe.. I do care.
-
-
It is tempting but then again my bus wont leave before the afternoone and I would only drive myself insane walking back and fort alone in the apartment.
-
-
well if you need support or to vent or anything im here for you
-
-
I will keep that in mind, thank you.

Thank you so much for your care. It never stops hurting, no. Wish it did, but that is something I have to live with.
I will stay strong, dont you worry. I may feel weak and helpless now, but I just need to catch up again.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know what menas to lose a dad. My father died couple months ago. He got fever and died in a week. If you want a talk or anything message me.

-
Thank you for your care, and I will keep your kind offer in mind. And I am sorry to heart about your dad. I wish I had the signs to tell me something was wrong to get the chance to say goodbye...But those kinds of things just happens, no one can tell in advance.
-

So sorry to hear about your stepdad's sudden death. I hope the entries here will bring you comfort.

Thank you for your random care and thought, hehe.
Trying my best to hang on, but it aint easy. By the way, your user name is so cute! -

Anytime
I know it's really hard to get over such things... I whole-heartedly agree with Lost Vampyre Angel. I've never lost anyone close so far, but I understand it is very painful, and if there's any way I can help, please let me know.
& thanks. -
-
Your care is more then enough, knowing that I am not alone and have sweet souls around me who are willingly putting themself trought the torture of my whining deserves a "best person in the world" award!
-
-
well, at least from all the comments on this contest, I'd say you aren't alone & no one should be alone through something like this.
-
-
No I am not alone and I am so grateful for that. I dont know what I would have been if I didnt have all you wonderfull guys here! You really are the biggest support!

Thank you so much for your kind words, you really are kind.

Oh my dear sweet girl, this must be so hard for you to endure. Even though he was your step dad, I read in your lines that you were very close together. Well, that closeness won't change you know, it may take a different form, but it will always be there, where ever you go. My father died in 1985, but he never left my heart and thoughts and even today I feel his closeness as strong as it always has been in the little things around me. I hope it will be the same for you.
-
-
Thank you for your care en thoughs. I do hope the closeness won't fade away, and I just...I guess that day two you would have realized the shock but I still haven't.
Going to be an interesting day at school, see how many times I break down in tears infront of the class. If the survive with me now then I have one damn nice class.
I am sorry about your loss as well, it never is easy.

very sad for your loss, Meroza ♥
In Memory of Sven Erik Olsen
for Meroza
Goodbye, for now,
though you're forever near
within my memory and how
I will record the cheer
you brought into my life -
the way you made me laugh,
not fear,
for all that it can offer me
when I greet life accordingly
with open arms towards what's ahead -
though sadness comes at times
and dread - I'll honor you
by going forth, dear father,
bravely, here. -
-
Thank you dear, you are so kind
-
-
As a Fellow Truck Driver,
I will consider it a honor to compose words for your father. As part of the international brotherhood, of the road, I send my warmest of condolences, sincerest of prayers. May you know the peace that only the Great Spirit can provide.
Blessings To You and Your Family
Respectfully,
Silent Hawk -

Thank you so much for your kind words and care, my mother and step grandfather is thanking you for all your care.
I feel honored as well, to be able to read your words dedicated to me or my step father.
May your pen never fail your muse.

i hate to say it, but i envy you.my dad is 'dying' (hes actually lying about it to get money out of people) and doesnt care much about what its doing to me.i hate to say it, as i know you must be going through a terrible time, but i would rather lose a loving farther and have wonderful memories.than be stuck with an uncaring and unloving farther who fakes cancer despite my pain for so long thinking he was dying.
i hope you keep strength.
Remember 'love will always be stronger than death because where the arms of death can only carry you away once, the arms of love hold you tightly several times in one short lifetime' - me (trisha clinton) -
-
You may envy me but I do not feel like I have anything left to be envyed for. Sure, deep down I understand how you feel, and I would too have felt the same way.
Only advice I have for you is break all contact, he dosent deserve your love and care. This may sounds rude and upsetting, but thats the only thing you can do to protect yourself.
And thank you for your words of kindness.

i just read your competition, and i wanted you to read this piece again. i hope it helps, and if you need someone to chat to id be really happy to reply to your messages.

Thank you so much for your care and thoughts Jezz, your such a kind soul.
And I will keep it in mind. Right now I dont really feel much like talking, it just makes it all more real...
-

I am so sorry, sweetie. I wish I could take away the pain. Crying is healthy. Your energy now is mostly for grieving and helping your body and soul cope with your great loss.
-
-
Thank you for your thoughts and care.
Energy, what energy? I feel like I have none left. The fureral is today, but I feel that I will pass out of I walk even a step.
