Me and my baby Brother

I love and miss you little Bro'! You were my friend. Your life was cut short but I will never forget your kind and gentle spirit, and how you always thought of others first. We miss you Kip, and will see you again.

Do not stand at my grave and weep~
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush~
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry~
I am not there, I did not die.

All is Well
Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped
away into the next room. I am I, and you
are you. Whatever we were to each other,
that we still are. Call me by my old
familiar name, speak to me in the easy
way which you always used. Put no
difference in your tone, wear no forced air
of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we
always laughed at the little jokes we
enjoyed together. Pray, smile, think of me,
pray for me. Let my name be ever the
household word that it always was, let it
be spoken without effect without the trace
of a shadow on it. Life means all that it
ever meant. It is the same as it ever was;
there is unbroken continuity. Why should
I be out of mind because I am out of
sight? I am waiting for you, for an
interval, somewhere very near, just round
the corner.
All is well.
Henry Scott Holland

The long and winding road"
by John Lennon and Paul McCartny
This was one of Kips favorite songs
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Leads me to your door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day.
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried
Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried but
Still they lead me back
To the long and winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to you door
