Poem for Bryant - by David Deane

March - by David Deane for Bryant Paquette~
Bryant passed away on the first day of Spring 2009


March ~~~~
From winters lion like fury
will bring a hint of spring to the judge and jury
 Like a cool autumn day the red wings come from far away..
 (but not today )
un-yielding is winters wrath march brings a thaw.from feburary's destructive path
March will demand and end winters stay.
 and pass through the warmth for april and may
(but not today )

Bryant's Amazing Life of Grace

March 21, 2011

(See Video below)
The First Day of Spring ~ That was the fateful day you left us.  We miss you so much Bryant.  But in Spring is re-birth, an awakening, and a peace that you left because you were done.  You were tired.  You accomplishe what you needed to.  20 years doesn't seem long enough, not by any stretch of any imagination, but I suppose if you hold that up agains the odds you were given on the day you were born, I would say Las Vegas would be ahurtiin'.  They gave you 24 hours.  You gave us 20 years.

You showed us grace, dignity, life, love, strength, courage, hero-stuff.  Real time.  Real life.  You went through so many tough things and came out smiling, probably to teach us more stuff ... if only we open our hearts.   We did, we opened our hearts and we got a miracle.

I love you Bryant more than words could ever convey.  But you know that.  Your face shows it in all our pictures and vidoes and the legacy you made.  You loved back.  You taught so much to so many.  We are forever grateful to have had you in our lives.

I continue my quest now, without my Spirit Guide here in a physical sense, it's hard to get my bearings.  I try, we all do, we try and restructure our "new normal" after losing our centerpeice.  Sure, you are still with us, always will be, and for that we are beyond blessed.  You personified perfection in your Grace and Love.  In what may be perceived as "weakness" or "disability" you brought ability and strength.

I don't know what I'll do today.  Probably enjoy the Spring Day and think of you and how you LOVED the Spring, the Wind, how you loved life.  And try to find some focus on a day that just sucks out loud.

Love & Miss you Always ~ Until we see you again,

Love Mommy xo xo
