For my grandfather

After I found out he had passed, 9 years ago today, I listened to this song over and over again in the car on the way home to my parent's house. And every July 1, I let myself wallow in it until I can't stand it any more. I tend to listen to it for about an hour non-stop and just weep uncontrollably. And think about how my pap wasn't there to give

*hugs* I know how that feels. the anniversary of my mom's death was June 28th and I listen to a couple of her favourite songs that day every year. I miss that she hasn't been around for more than half my life and missed all the same milestones as you mentioned.

It's tough when people we love leave us. The memories are always there but though they're happy there's always a bit of sadness too at their loss.

Amie, this touched my heart. I never had a grandfather both had passed way before I was born. But both my parents are gone and other family members, so you cry all you need to my dear, tomorrow is another day, you deserve this grieving time.

I know where you're coming from...my mom passed 23 yrs. ago (omg has it been that long?) and still I think of her and miss her every single day...I wasn't even 30...not at all grown up yet...still needing her...and I still cry everytime I hear certain songs or see "The King and I" on tv...we always watched it together and I can see her sitting there getting all teared up when he's dying *sigh*

Missing someone is possibly the hardest thing ever.
Hugs.

(Also, your posting of this video sent me on an 80s new wave youtube bender. The nostalgia. Oy.)
