TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARYIN LOVING MEMORY OF RAFAEL M. GABALDON JANUARY 8, 1918 - APRIL 11, 1999REMEMBERINGGo ahead and mention our loved one, The one that died, you know. Don't worry about hurting us further. The depth of our pain doesn't show.Don't worry about making us cry We're already crying inside. Help us to heal by releasing The tears that we try to hide.We hurt when you just keep silent, Pretending he didn't exist, We'd rather you mention our loved one Knowing that he has been missed. You ask us how we are doing We say"pretty good" or"fine" But healing is something ongoing We know it will take a lifetime.Rosita Gabaldon & Family
