My father passed away from cancer in 2004. The empty frames represent special times in my life that he wasn't able to share with me; my wedding, the birth of my son and just quiet moments with the family. The poem was part of the Eulogy I wrote for his service.

Journaling:
"on't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or lifetime is certain for those who are friends."

-- Richard David Bach (b. 1936), American author, "Jonathan Livingston Seagull"
