Losing Hope
"Wes, the day you let Gerard move in with us is the day you can have your sixteen year old Korean girl..."
Thank you to everyone for all of my wonderful presents on Monday, I love them all and you will have yours as of tomorrow! (I wore my hat to work today, I have drawn in my journal and am waiting until after Christmas to see what I get to buy either my manga series I've been missing or Grimm's fairytales)
On a somber note;
While they are still looking, the Coast Guard has called off the official search for my friends. Today I spoke with someone who knows as much about the situation as one can here in Rome and in being informed of the realistic and logical mechanics of what happens when a plane like this crashes there is little hope in my mind left for Gary and Hannah Tillman. More than likely they will be found when the plane is, still inside as Gary was flying and Hannah was copilot. I DO NOT give up ALL hope yet as there are no bodies, so I don't have to believe it.
I hurt. Really bad.
*************************
For Hannah and Gary
With your hand on my back
You blow out the flame
Of the candle I held
Lit in their name
It wasn't in malice
That's just how it is
It's time to let go
With a hug and a kiss
For loving you more
Than most day to day
The tears we all cry
Are the price that we pay
A price more than worth it
When we recall you smile
I'd do nothing different
If time could rewind
You'll be more than missed
Your void never filled
Too many memories
Too many tears spilled
But even in mourning
I'm grateful anew
For the father and daughter
And loving the two
