Unforgettable Faces & Stories: Dedications: Dads and Daughters

admin — Sat, 29 Dec 2018 22:14:28 +0000

Were you "Daddy's Little Girl"? Did you share that special relationship with your Dad? Did your Dad serve in the military and not talk much about it, or perhaps not at all? You need to read these personal stories from women who grew up sometimes never hearing or knowing about their dad's service in the military/war. Never hearing names of their buddies or even knowing where they fought til after they have died. Perhaps they saw their buddy die by their side or fought in bloody battles that they wanted to forget. These are all very special stories of ordinary Dads that served and were extraordinary Dads and Soldiers. Share these women's photographs, read their own words, their own versions, no structure, just words from their own hearts and memories.

Unforgettable Faces & Stories: Keepsakes

admin — Sat, 29 Dec 2018 21:45:07 +0000

We all have something that reminds us of someone we loved and lost. Our lives are so busy today and we are running around and always in a hurry. Sometimes we stop quickly...we never know when we will see it...and then we spot it, we stop in our tracks. It may be a vase that we have in our home and walk by it every day, a picture on the wall, an old wine bottle, a medal, a piece of jewelry, an old tea pot, a chair, or a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, something that reminds us or brings us back to a memory of a friend, a parent, a brother or sister, or husband or wife. That special someone who you thought would be around forever to share in your life, and then they were gone...We have little treasures at home - "keepsakes" that we hold, smell, look at, or even hug sometimes. The feelings we get of presence and love, we cannot describe, only feel. For these keepsakes help keep memories of our lost ones alive in our hearts, and knowing that they are very close to us in our everyday lives. Read these stories from these amazing people that share their most intimate feelings and memories of people that have died, and then pull out some of your keepsakes and know that your loved one is there very close to you. Shed a tear or bear a smile...and think and feel the memories of your "Keepsake"...

Stone Poets

It has been said that a person dies not once but three times. The first is when their heart ceases to beat. The second is when they are consigned to the earth, and the third is the last time anyone whispers their name aloud.

This idea resonated with me when I first read it and it has been my companion for the past 17 years as I trekked across hundreds of cemeteries throughout New York and New England. This book is the culmination of that journey.
