“We can never turn back the pages of time, though we may wish to relive a happy moment, or say goodbye just one last time, we never can, because the sands of time continue to fall, and we can’t turn the hourglass over.”
“Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.”
~Herman Hesse
You Are Stronger Than You Think
"You are stronger than you think, remember to stand tall.
Every challenge in your life helps you to grow.
Every problem you encounter strengthens your mind and your soul.
Every trouble you overcome increases your understanding of life.
When all your troubles weigh heavily on your shoulders, remember that beneath the burden you can stand tall, because you are never given more than you can handle... and you are stronger than you think."
jenn he is truly a wonderful man. even my own kids consider him as their hero. i am indeed so lucky to have him as my dad. :) thanks for hosting sensational haiku wednesday!
bloggin' with amanda, he treated his people (former employees) like his own children. that's why he is still so loved by them. this was the kind of boss who knew each and every employee's children's names and there were around 50 people at that time. the surprise party was organized by them.
amanda, i enjoy writing haiku and i try not to miss it every week. i guess all of jenn's loyal haiku-ers are rightfully kings and queens of haiku. thanks for appreciating.
a wonderful tribute to your dad. your writing truly comes from the heart. i hope that your blogging has helped you in coping with your pain. take good care....
How fun. This is just an aside but my dad, who I never knew, was killed in WWII when I was 3 months old. His nickname was BING. (Last name Bingaman). Coincidence or serendipity?
On January 25, 2005, I lost my husband. Welcome to my random thoughts about losing James and finding myself again. For in this journey called Life, "there is no such thing as a negative experience... only opportunities to grow."

Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you decide to see beyond the imperfections.
"Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward to the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage and confidence." ~ Og Mandino
If I could wish for my life to be perfect, it would be tempting, but I would have to decline, for life would no longer teach me anything.
"For I know the
plans I have for
you," declares
the Lord, "plans
to prosper you
and not to harm
you, plans to give
you hope and a
future."
Jeremiah 29:11-14
