Oh Larry this is so very delicate, beautiful and saddening. I'm sorry to all your family and you for the loss of this, what I can tell from your piece, gentle man.
Much love

Oh Larry, this is so heartbreakingly beautiful. My deepest condolences to your wife and all of you for your loss.

Brenda & Em, thank you both.

My deepest condolences and sympathies to all of you <3 This poem was sorrowful yet filled with wisdom and hope. Reading this made me feel less alone, and maybe others too who have experienced loss. I think the most comforting thought is knowing that "this trail is not solitary" that you can walk it together.

You have each other. So touching and I send you lots of love and support.

So touching, Larry.
My condolences.

Within this heartfelt write, there is a message of life too.
I can visualize your every word of comfort to your wife...
my heartfelt condolences...take care

You and your wife have my sincerest condolences, Larry.
This is a genuinely touching piece that deserves its place on the front page.

Take care,

Ben

Your love for your wife is tender and moving. This is a beautiful poem. She will come through the other side of grief with you at her side.

Well deserved win, Larry

Larry it's not often I comment on the things you write as others convey things far more eloquently than I. They say the things I would wish to far more gracefully too.

As a family we are staring down this barrel. We some pretty hefty losses to come and they seem to gain speed faster than any wins that float our way.

Give your lady a hug from us all and tell her she is not alone.

Regards

Craig

Congratulations sir!

Judging Comment - To My Wife on the Loss of Her Father by Larry Chamberlain points 10 - This is very beautifully and delicately written and moved me no end which I'm sure can be said for anyone else reading it. It is clear that you love your wife and will support her through this difficult time, it is also clear that you thought highly of your father in law. I would just like to take this opportunity to say you and your family are in my thoughts.
