h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

When you left a part of me died
with you, a gap, a wound, open wide,
was left, I miss you still,
nothing can ever hope to fill,
the need for your presence, your advice,
the love that was without a price,

I didn,t always know how to demonstrate
the love I felt, thinking it could wait,
because you were there, always for me,
the child, the daughter, centering selfishly
upon her needs, her wants and desires
Never thinking that one day time expires,

Thanks for the Az, I guess I had one too many beers last night and got all sentimental!!! true though I do miss my dad horribly even now 15 years after his death, I get mad at times that he had to leave me, there are so many things that I would like to ask him, to know about him, he was a great guy, very patient, kind and wise, I could often do with his advice and I wish he was around to see his grandchildren, he would have absolutely adored them.

We never "get over" losing those we love, we just get used to the fact that they are no longer around, but the space in the heart that they used to fill always remains vacant.

Life continues until it,s our turn!!

Love
Jane
