I think my brother would have liked this poem & what it says about friendship. I can't speak to any regrets he might have had, like most of us, I'm sure he had a few.
To all of my brothers friends, thank you for your kind words,cards, prayers, and for your presence and support at his visitation and service. Your thoughtfulness truly touched our hearts and lifted our spirits.
Whether you knew my brother as Buzzy or Danny - this is for you--
Farewell My Friend
It was beautiful as long as it lasted
The journey of my life.
I have no regrets whatsoever
save the pain I'll leave behind.
Those dear hearts who love and care...
And the strings pulling at the heart and soul...
The strong arms that held me up
When my own strength let me down.
At every turning of my life I came across good friends,
Friends who stood by me,
Even when the time raced me by.
Farewell, farewell my friends
I smile and bid you goodbye.
No, shed no tears for I need them not-
All I need is your smile.
If you feel sad do think of me
for that's what I'll like; when you live in the hearts
of those you love, remember then you never die.
Rabindranath Tagore
On another note, I posted both of these messages on his birthday, 11-28-11, I have no idea why they are dated 11-29-11, I'm sure my brother could care less, but it bothers me!
Love ya Buzz
