I got an email from my daughter this morning. In it was:

"My memories of Grandfather are very warm. I remember feeling very fond of him, and loving that he was not all that much bigger than I was."

My father not only was part of my life, but he lived long enough so that his grandchildren remember him. I used to get impatient with him because I thought he should not have been so forgiving of my mother during her many unreasonable moments. I realise now that he was capable of great love.

My father used to sometimes say when he was discouraged. "If I were an undertaker, people would stop dying." I thought it was original with him. However, in "World Poetry" is the following by Abraham Ibn Ezra (1029-1167)

My Stars

On the day I was born
The unalterable stars altered.
If I decided to sell lamps,
It wouldn't get dark until the day I died.

Some stars. Whatever I do,
I'm a failure before I begin.
If I suddenly decided to sell shrouds,
People would suddenly decide to stop dying.

Poetry is what is lost in the translation, but that sure sounds like my father. I wish he was still around so I could ask him if he had read that poem.

Federal Reserve 100 Years of Failure
http://www.veteransnewsnow.com/2013/12/22/federal-reserve-100-years-of-failure/

We all know or should all know that the Federal Reserve conspiracy is an ongoing theft syndicate.

The Fed is privately owned, and its shareholders are private banks. In fact, 100% of its shareholders are private banks. None of its stock is owned by the government.

The actual purpose of the architects of the Federal Reserve System has never changed. Consolidate the control of money into a concealed cartel of banking houses that ultimately decide economic and political policy.

Dispensing of credit to corporatist projects, owned or run by reliable operatives of the cabal is the objective. The only beneficiaries are the original stockholders.

Please Watch these Videos and read this excellent article with many links to further information:

Thanks Hb, an honest bare emotioned sentiment that I can certainly relate to.

Time in a bottle is what we need Hb, but it aint gonna happen, it's bloody physics...he is the enemy. How do we cope with time, the loved ones it takes from us and the ravages it imposes on us...we ignore it until we can no more...but nothing is over until the obese diva takes the stage...time does not pass, we do.

But you are here now and your thoughts are appreciated by others...your thoughts are also the thoughts that your father instilled in you as a boy...he aint gone till you are gone...

When I think of my father, I overwhelmingly think of all the joys he missed out on by dying too soon, particularly the grandchildren he didn't get to see grow up. My own feelings are but vaguely selfish musings in comparison. Perhaps I didn't grieve enough.

What a lovely heartfelt post, Hasbeen.
Christmas has a way of bringjng back all kinds of memories, and your Dad sounds great.

My father is still fit and well at the age of 81. I live in WA and he lives in Queensland with his second wjfe and her family, so I suffer from a form of grief in that I rarely see him.

He is not the same fun Dad I used to have, and I often wonder if he now regrets moving so far away from his four children and grandchildren.

Christmas...a time for family fun as well as some regrets perhaps.
