Wed.
Spent part of today listening to some music that I found comfort in since the diagnosis and find comfort in now that Mom is gone. Probably should put it all together on one CD. Today is probably going to be a primarily lyrics posting, a couple songs that have been helping me get through.

Got a note from Dad and money for the Thanksgiving turkey. He said there were another 15 cards waiting for him when he got home. He also emailed tonight and said that he’s doing okay. I’m sure it’s been hard being in the house alone, but he does need it so he can grieve without worrying about what anyone else is thinking, including his sons and their families.



Say Goodbye
by Doris Muramatsu Performed by Girlyman

It's a simple day outside.
The sun is the only thing shining,
Not a cloud in the sky.
No hint of you.

I will always regret
Never hearing your best secrets.
And your mind with all its witty jokes,
Your hand restless, reaching for another smoke.

Can you see how I miss you so?
Can't believe your wanting to go,
'Cause I just don't know how to make myself
Let you go.

And I still can't seem to find
A simple way to say goodbye.
I'm not the kind for regret.
Was there something I wanted to forget?
Either way you'd already made up your mind.

It's a matter of faith.
Shut your eyes and believe that it will take.
Though it's hard with these doubts, I know with no doubt,
That you're resting somewhere great.

Can you see how I miss you so?
Can't believe your wanting to go,
'Cause I just don't know how to make myself
Let you go.

And I still can't seem to find
A simple way to say goodbye.
I'm not the kind for regret.
Was there something I wanted to forget?
Either way you'd already made up your mind.
