To All Have many great memories of Fred. I share these poems with you that were shared with me at a time of loss, and I share them forward.
DEATH IS NOTHING
Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way, which you always used. Put no difference in your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, and pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is an absolute unbroken continuity. What is Death but a negligent accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well .
Written by Henry Scott Holland (27 January 1847 – 17 March 1918) was Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford
Remember me with fondness
I love you much. I always loved you much.
The ticket is ended-one must descend from the train.
Biological laws are not negotiated or discussed. So it is….
I had a good ticket in life. I enjoyed it, I lived it whole, I had fun.
I did not have hunger or cold, neither did I have to go to war. Wonderful (life).
I had my wife and my work. Was happy with both.
There aren’t any children more marvelous than mine. They are gentile, good, honest, human, correct and loving, respectful but conscientious, affectionate and caring.
It seems little, but was much. Not that I wouldn’t have liked more, but…..
All my life I lived in paradise. When I went to another place, I always found something pretty, be it the lights, the music, the colors that was stimulating, but coming back, I always got back to paradise. This is my place.
I lived life like a KING— I am going to die like a man.
I had love and had joys, all from you and all of these yours.
Thanks for all my apologies for the bad moments. There was no dissolve. I am not saying goodbye because I do not life fair wells, only GOOD DAYS AND GOOD NIGHTS.
May all be well for you.
Go well with you.
