Seven months today


It's been seven months today since Nathan left us. I have a very hard time using the word died when talking about Nathan. It sounds so final. I know Lisa will be in pain today. I feel so helpless. I wish I could send some cheerful or inspirational email that would make it all better, or at least less painful.

My computer could use a tune up I think, things that I haven't the vaguest idea how to do, such as cleaning up the registry. I've never ever tampered with anything in the registry. Nathan did, he was so confident, it didn't scare him at all. Some days I have the thought, after some minor accomplishment, that Nathan would be so proud of me. Oh how I long to hear him say those words again. It was so neat to hear such a young person say they were proud of someone my age, and so sweet for him to be so thoughtful.

I so regret that we seemed to be mildly estranged before he left. I should have put forth a little more effort than I did to stay in contact. He asked me to. He always reminded me that I could send email to him if I wanted. I don't know why I didn't, I can remember feeling that I didn't know what type of emails he liked. Jokes? Technical article? In retrospect I realize it didn't even matter. Oh God I hope he knew I loved him. I miss you so much Nate.

  1. Thanks for all you've done
    I've missed you for so long
    I can't believe you're gone
    You still live in me
    I feel you in the wind
    You guide me constantly

    I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
    Cause you were always there for me
    You were always there waiting
    And I'll come home and I miss your face so
    Smiling down on me
    I close my eyes to see

    And I know, you're a part of me
    And it's your song that sets me free
    I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
    I sing tonight cause it comforts me

    I carry the things that remind me of you
    In loving memory of
    The one that was so true
    Your were as kind as you could be
    And even though you're gone
    You still mean the world to me

    I never knew what it was to be alone, no
    Cause you were always there for me
    You were always there waiting
    But now I come home and it's not the same, no
    It feels empty and alone
    I can't believe you're gone

    And I know, you're a part of me
    And it's your song that sets me free
    I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
    I sing tonight cause it comforts me

    I'm glad He set you free from sorrow
    I'll still love you more tomorrow
    And you will be here with me still

    And what you did you did with feeling
    And You always found the meaning
    And you always will
    And you always will
    And you always will


    And I know, you're a part of me
    And it's your song that sets me free
    I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
    I sing tonight cause it comforts me
