Dear Tiffy
Ode/Elegy to you on the loss of your Dad
Sweet Tiffany
There are so many words of comfort to offer you
having met the kind, loving, thoughtful
beautiful little glimpses of your inner soul
Yet can we ever find the perfect phrases
to convey to you the heartfelt agony of thoughts
of which we know we can never really understand
You have lost a Father, an integral part of you
amidst your pain we can but offer hugs and comfort
saying 'sorry for your loss' is cliche, I know
But we will say it anyway...'we are so sorry for your loss'.
You are ever so brave, offering comfort to us all with grace
while poised and lady-like you silently mourn
Finding comfort in your faith, you carry on
it has been a while, but is it ever too late
to offer a hug and a shoulder to lean on
With lots of love and caring
To you Sweet Tiffany
With all of our love

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.

The sun is shining today, and so is Tiffany, all over this poem. So happy to see you smiling and cheering everyone on. Have a sunny day Tiff.
Novel, what a lovely gesture and so well expressed. My condolences are added for Tiffany, too. It is gestures like this that make Vocal such a special community.
A truly poignant poem. I'm deeply sorry for the Tiffany's loss.
May the losses of the ones we love forever lead to more of loving ourselves. There is more love in the world than there are people to receive it, even when our pain screams otherwise. Be sweet to yourself, Tiffany, and don't hold back.
Thank you for this beautiful piece. Tiffany I am truly sorry for your loss. You are an amazing ray of light in this world. I pray for you to find healing in this difficult time. And Novel I already knew you were a kind generous person this is just further evidence

It is hard to ponder this. Getting older not so simple knowing ppl start to pass on in your life. Very sweet poem
My name is signed & added to Novel's heartfelt letter! Sending love & hugs to my sweet Tiffany & Novel💕♥️♥️
Well said Novel, I will put my name to this.
The weirdest thing about losing my father was not the loss of his presence (because we both enjoyed his long life--85!) but how the world somehow seemed so different knowing it was a world that didn't include him anymore.
This is so beautiful, and what a thoughtful thing to do. You are truly a wonderful friend. And Tiff, I am so sorry. Send virtual hugs and healing prayers to you, my friend.
What a beautiful way to lift Tiffany up :). I join you in offering her our love and support ❤️
