1.55pm 7/7/02 - death in the family...

goodbyes are the hardest to say

letting go is as bad...if not worse

and the ones left behind are all but heartache, tears, puffy eyes, runny noses
and a large, empty, black, yawning, aching hole inside...

i dont think i'll put up the little piece i wrote a while back in preparation for this day
except.. that... he taught us the tenderest love that could ever be taught,
he brought out the best in all, listened to us without complaining,
tolerated all our nonsense, accepted us, and best and most of all...

loved us right back with all the selfless unconditionality of a beloved pet...

the world is suddenly emptier, quieter and listless...
no more words for now...
