Reminder

[relic]

Please sir, can you help me?
Tell me how to stop the pain?
Please sir can you help me?
Tell me what does 'terminal' mean?

Please sir can you play with me.
Noone likes to look at me.
I know I look kinda funny
But I'm a little sick, you see?

Please ma'am can you read to me.
My mommy she just crys.
Daddy tries to comfort her.
But the tears are in his eyes.

Someday I'll learn to read to myself
And mommy will smile then
And daddy will laugh and play with me
Outside in our yard again.

Someday.

Why do we DC?
All too often, someday never comes
That's why.

I have to tell you Relic, I have been reading your stuff for years.....but this one brought an honest to god tear to my eye. I imagine anyone with kids likely feels the same.

My efforts have never ebbed, but if there were ever a thought that perhaps I could allow them to do so, I will remember this verse, and go on.

That's very touching.

Fold on...

Thanks for the reminder. Long time no see, relic, I've missed the barding.

We are the home farmers - the blood, the sweat, the tears of the [H]orde.

Elendil!

Wow that one brought a tear to my eye as well. Made me think of the six year old girl across the street that died from terminal brain cancer a while ago. Things like this sure make you feel insignificant.
