Thank you so much for sharing these poems and allowing us to honor Sean's memory and your family's sacrifice.
Beautiful poems Maria. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I feel a need to post two poems I wrote about my nephew who died the day after Valentine's day last year, Feb. 15, 2009
The first poem addresses when we found out that Sean had been killed by an IED:
Don’t answer that door
A roadside bomb

I didn't blog but this is important. My fallen nephew in Iraq.

- Sorry Maria. I totally wrote Emily, when I meant to write Maria. My bad. However...message still applies. I meant the message for you not Emily. Sorry about that. :-)

- Hi Emily. I see that you say in your profile that you don't blog. That's totally fine, and I am still very happy that you have joined us here at The Political Voices of Women Community. But, even though you don't have a blog outside of this community...this page does allow you to post. So, if you decide you want to "dabble" in blogging, just use your blog option on this page (if you have any questions on how to do that, just let me know). If you do decide to post here, it will go to the top of the community front page, and I may also use it on the main blog as a guest post. No pressure, but I wanted to let you know that it is an option, just in case you were not aware.
Best,
Catherine

I'm even still in touch with a few of the women i met there. It's especially cool that this particular site is devoted to women who are politically active. Goddess knows the world needs more of us!
