WHEN MY MOM AND DAD WERE DIAGNOSED WITH DEMENTIA AND ALS. I WROTE THEM A POEM SO THEY COULD KNOW HOW I FELT. IT WAS READ AT MY DADS FUNERAL. THERE ARE A FEW THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO MY PARENTS WHO I LOVE EACH AND EVERY DAY. FIRST TO MY MOTHER AND THEN TO MY DAD. YOU ARE THE PARENTS I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE. WE DID NOT HAVE A LOT OF MONEY BUT WE HAD A LOT OF LOVE. I KNEW I COULD COUNT ON YOU WHEN PUSH CAME TO SHOVE. YOU TAUGHT ME THE WAY A MAN SHOULD GROW UP AND LIVE. TO BE KIND AND GENEROUS AND LEARN HOW TO GIVE. YOU TAUGHT ME RIGHT FROM WRONG EVEN THOUGH I SOMETIMES STRAY. THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE, ARE A RESULT OF DECISIONS MADE TODAY. YOU RAISED ME IN A CHRISTIAN HOME AND SHOWED ME THE LIGHT. YES MOM AND DAD, YOU DEFINIATELY DID IT RIGHT. I WISH I COULD STOP THE HANDS OF TIME AND KEEP US ALL TOGETHER. I WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF YOU BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE BETTER. IM OFTEN ASKED WHO MY PARENTS ARE AND I SAY YOUR NAMES WITH PRIDE. I KNOW THROUGH GOOD AND BAD YOU WILL STAND BY MY SIDE. THANK YOU MOM AND DAD FOR RAISING ME THIS WAY. I LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD EACH AND EVERY DAY. LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD. THEY ARE GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTON. CECIL ARNOLD FORBES AND JUNE INEZ FORBES. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE. IM SO GLAD THAT THEY HAD A CHANCE TO READ THIS BEFORE THE DEMENTIA TOOK OVER THEIR LIVES. I KNOW THAT THEY ARE DANCING IN HEAVEN THIS MORNING. THEY ARE MISSED. IF YOU STILL HAVE YOUR PARENTS, GIVE THEM A BIG OL HUG. TELL THEM JUST HOW YOU FEEL. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT. LOVE EM WHILE YOU HAVE EM. TIME PASSES SO FAST.
