Feel free to remember those who have left us.

This is dedicated,
to whomever, wherever.

I wrote it one night last year.
I post it somewhere every december.

Another Day by July.
Dec, 27th 2005.

One moment. One breeze.
One day feeling at ease.
Another sunrise.
Another sunset.
Another kiss.
Another caress.
A hug.
A passing glance.
A whisper.
Another chance.
As summer nights fade.
A flower grows in a garden alone.
To be alive.
When the sun shines.
When the rain falls, from above.
The ones gone from us.
Forever loved.

Gone But Not Forgotten.

To everybody who has lost someone in 2006
We lost my mother-in-law and sister-in-law this year. It's not been a good year. I'm hoping that 2007 will bring some happiness to everyone.

...because the pain never really goes away just dulls

Family and recent friends...love u always

For my good friend Dwight's cousin who died of leukemia 2 weeks ago. He was only 20 years old and had leukemia since he was 12 years old. God bless you Will!

I hate to point out the obvious, but 2006 IS the past.

To my 27 year old great nephew Francisco who was killed merciless by a 17 year old in January of 2006.

If I see one flame from this I will go ballistic

...gone WAY too soon

My Grandma Violet and Aunt Ardie passed away this year. So did my friend's husband. (from leukemia) It's been a tough year.

To the young cat who was killed by the NYPD on what would've been his wedding day. Just 23 years old. Someone has got to be made responsible for that. Also, For all the soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting for our freedom.

july said:

Now I know I must have been on Mars since this is the first I've heard of Gerald's death. It's almost a month later. I am a little embarassed.

I will say though that like my 32 year old friend who died earlier this year, heavy people are dying younger and younger these days and the trend should be paid attention to by the necessary parties.

Please live and eat healthy.

A dear young friend and colleague who passed away from cancer, leaving behind a devoted husband and countless friends.

D, you were a light.
