On Sunday it has been 15 yrs since I lost Gordon to this awful disease. So I would like to post a poem I wrote on the one yr .anniversary. 

Today I met an angel,

Just when I needed a friend.

He walked and talked with me,

He encouraged me that my efforts must not end.

Speaking of my experiences seem to be my purpose here,

Even if I happen to shed a silent tear.

Today I met an angel,

Funny thing is he looks a lot like my friend,

Maybe he's come to help my broken heart to mend.

Today I met an angel

And when he left me I knew ...

For me there was no greater love than the love that came from you.

Today I met an angel from up above,

He shared his life, his self, his love.

Gordon slipped away without sound,

Having faith that he was homeward bound.

May your pain be gone my beloved soul-mate,

I will meet you at heavens gate.
