Holding hands. :)

I saw it, printed it out, read it to Wiggy, he took it to work.

I'm so glad I don't work in the thermometer quality control department at Johnson &
Johnson. :p

Miss Me, But Let Me Go
Author Unknown

When I come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little—but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that was once shared.
Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take, and each must go alone.
It’s all a part of the master’s plan, a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know.
Bear your sorrow in good deeds. Miss me, but let me go.

I had to go put the kids to bed, that's why I left. Never because of you. You could never
ever ever do anything that would make me leave. Okay?

I misunderstood and I am sorry for that, honestly. :)

Dear Starbucks,

I don't know what to say- I have not been on this forum for a while. This evening I went on your FB wall as I have not heard from you for a while and so I went on your wall to leave a message and I realised that you have sadly passed away.

I don't know what to say and so I logged on here hoping I got it all wrong and then I found this thread- I am lost for words and v shocked.

I wanted to say thank you for everything you have done- your kind words, wisdom and support- I have only known you for a short while, nevertheless I cheerish our friendship v much. You will be missed v much by many people - that is for sure. I hope you rest well in heaven. Take care Zeeniee xx

I was listening to my I-pod in the dark the other night (yeah, I'm weird but it's just one of my 'things' I do)

This song started playing and it just randomly made me think about Starby... I don't know why I am sharing but I just have always loved the song and now I see it differently...

Shaz, thanks for sharing. I hadn't heard that song in a long while.

Sometimes, it strikes me, too, how much our own feelings and experiences impact the meanings we get from from music.

I'd have given you a greenie, but the mean machine told me I had to "spread the rep". I hope Starby enjoys that happening to me for the first time on this thread. It somehow seems "right" that it happened here.

shazamataz · Sep 9, 2009, 07:36 AM

Thank you Cat, yes, it does seem 'right' :)

I have quite a few songs that I can't listen too much anymore, just because they now have a different meaning for me... whether it be a friend leaving or finishing high school, there are a lot of songs that have impacted my life, good and bad.

That one however, is now in my 'sad' playlist, for when I'm feeling a bit melancholy.

Hey Starbs... I was just thinking of you today, I heard this song. Love you sweet honey!:)

Hugs to you and have missed you all too so much. We can catch up later about the babies (they are doing well). Just walking around the house in a sad stupor at this news. My heart is with all of you.

Unknown008 · Nov 15, 2009, 07:09 AM

Thanks! Well, I hope to be able to see you later! :)

I must go now...

Allheart my love. Your typing finds me in tears. I have missed hearing your voice and seeing your words. I have been so worried about you. I miss you and I love you. I'm so elated to see you back here you have no idea.

Clough · Nov 15, 2009, 07:13 PM

Hi, Allheart!

Yes, you've definitely been missed around here!

Welcome back! :)

This is a gift.

Allheart, you are missed, more then I can say.

I would have contacted you, but I had no way to do so. I'm so sorry you had to find out this way.

Starby is in peace now, on that we all agree. It was a long hard road, but she reached the end and found the light.

Love you Allheart. Don't be a stranger. We all care about you and miss you.

Last night I got out all my reindeer making "stuff" and realized that exactly one year ago I was making reindeer for Jo. I actually printed out her PM to me about blanket colors!

Brings it all back again -

It's going to be a tough Xmas, especially for her family.

Last year at this time I was trying to convince Jo to spend Xmas with my family. She was on the edge of agreeing, the only set back was Nicki, because Jo didn't want to drive and the Greyhound bus wouldn't take Nicki. Otherwise Jo and Nicki would have been with us.

It still haunts me. Maybe if she'd come I would have seen what was going on, I could have stopped it, she'd still be with us.

That's right, I still haven't forgiven myself. I know, I know. ;)

Thanks J. My head knows, my heart doesn't.

I still think that there had to be something I could have done. I know it's not logical, nor does it serve a purpose, she's gone, can't change that, but... well, you know.

Heck, I still beat myself up that I didn't push the doctors harder to diagnose my dad when we finally noticed he was sick. It still would have been too late, but in my typical Alty mind I feel like I could have saved him.

Theses thoughts serve no purpose, but they're there nonetheless. :(

Mother to the World, huh? IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT !!! Is that loud enough? Do we all need to shout? Hurt all you want, that's healthy, but you will not guilt trip yourself if we can do anything to stop you.
