Another Day.....

Today I lost another friend. This getting older thing stinks. Days go by, you meet more people and you lose touch with the ones that meant something or alot. Everyday I try to remember that I need to be better at staying in touch. I need to be better at calling. I need to be better. And then comes the call that someone you know and has meant alot to you, but apparently not enough to actually follow through with a phone call when I thought of it, has died. Ironic thing was, I saw, what in retrospect was him cleaning up loose ends, and thought about how I needed to call him. I know calling him wouldn't have stopped anything from happening but you still can't help but wonder or at least wish you had that last time at least to say Hi and Thank you. I say this not because I feel it is my fault or that I think I have some all-mighty power to change things but more to say...if you love someone or care about anyone - say it. If you think of someone, call them - don't wait to be called. If you have a falling out with someone who really does mean something to you - let it fall and pick up at a better place and go foward - don't leave them on the other side of that burned bridge. We just never know when nature, accident, or sadness will take someone away from us to a place where a phone call or letter will not reach.

Bye, bye baby it’s been sweet love yeah
Though this feeling I can’t change
Please don’t take it so badly
Cause the Lord knows I’m to blame
If I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn’t be the same
Cause I’m as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change

**I am sorry that felt leaving was better than staying but I hope you left knowing you really were loved**

**Needless to say, I didn't get a thing done today and no concentration. I spent the whole day thinking, at some point I would wake up and this will have all been a bad dream. But I am still awake and the day is still weird. And tomorrow is another day....
