I have found myself looking inside myself and trying to find the words I'd like to say..like others I lost my Mother to Cancer,and I pass along my most deepest and heart felt sympathy to you and your family.I echo pcpilots thoughts to you.May God bless and touch you and your wife with his Love.I know it will be tough but I wish the peace and Love of this Holy season to you and your wife.

High Flight
John Gillespie Magee, Jr
-----------------------------------------------------
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew --
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
