R.I.P. Charles Harrison Ives

My dad died tonight.

At home, we're still waiting for the ME to come.

He wasn't supposed to die.

My dad.

My hero.

My best friend.

I'm lost.

1. Oh my god! He always sounded like he was doing so well, had recovered so much. I am so, so sorry. :(

6. W. H. Auden

   Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
   Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
   Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
   Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

   Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
   Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
   Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
   Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

   He was my North, my South, my East and West,
   My working week and my Sunday rest,
   My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
   I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

   The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
   Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
   Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
   For nothing now can ever come to any good.

   You and your mother are in my prayers to Kuan Yin, Goddess of Mercy.

11. Oh my. Oh Heatherlyn. I don’t know what to say. What can I say to make things better for you? Nothing, I know. But, I will say a prayer for you. And your Dad. Sending good, healing thoughts your way.
