To absent friends


In between the childish parts of the holiday season and the more timorous adult happenings this weekend it is good to spend a moment remembering those who will only be in our hearts in the coming year.

or as Lennon/McCartney put it:

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better

Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

Ladies and Gentlemen I offer a toast. "To absent friends"

And here's to you my blogger friend,
and to all those forever absent who forever live on in our thoughts. Is this the miracle of death?

To absent parents. Miss you terribly. Finally have lost enough of my self-centeredness to be MUCH more interested in you than in me. Wish I could sit and do nothing but ask you questions and listen to you talk your answers for days and days.

Flo, my father's birthday would have been yesterday. On that day once upon a time he was diagnosed with cancer. He didn't make it to New Years. I miss him more now than I would have expected

Sir, a sweet and loving happy birthday to your father, one day late. What an excrutiating goodbye that must have been for you and your family.

Might you share a photo of him some time in the new year? Did he like paying attention to clothes like you do? Was he as courtly and elegant as you are?

In My Life is one of my top 10 songs of all time. It is a classic!

My dad died 7 years ago and I know the feeling of reading or hearing something and think "I'll have to call dad." I guess it never goes away.

To absent love ones!

Happy 2012!
