That was a record which came out in the mid/late seventies.
I thought it was pretty sick.
Boy meets Girl, then they get ratted on wine, have an argument and she drives home.
He wakes up the next day, feeling guilty, so he 'phones her and just gets her answerphone.
Then he finds out she accidentally crashed her car and died on her way home.
He keeps 'phoning her number, just to hear her voice.
One Sick Puppy.
One Sick Record.
However...
My beloved and only sister was killed by cancer on October 23, 2008.
I can find tiny video clips of her (on the 'net} when she was 17 or 18.
Her birthday is June 3.
Guess what I have been doing?
Losing people you love - REALLY love, not fluffy-pink, happy-ever-after shite - is like having your guts ripped out. Again and again.
And again.
Ad infinitum.
I miss you, Ria.

When you have a loss like that then the world is no longer in colour... it's in black and white. There's only one thing worse than not getting what you want... and that's getting it! | |

Just a glimpse, just a sighting. A smile, a turn to face you. I know what you mean. Anything is better than the void left. RD xx It is not what you say or do but the way you say or do it | |

What can I do? Can I hug you? Yes I can. Do you write about her ever? Who she was, how she was. If I was with you I would ask you to tell me about her. Maybe you would maybe you wouldn't. I am sorry you have lost her. My object all sublime... | |

I know exactly what you mean... I went for a walk to my favourite place a few weeks ago and took a wrong turn.. ended up walking through a garden of rememberance.. was gutted and thought immediately of my Dad, whom I lost Aug 08.. but have no where to go to 'remember' him, if you like, as he wanted his ashes scattering at sea down south (navy lad)... I still have his mobile number in my phone so I text him... in floods of tears naturally. Like you say.. nothing can fill that void. If I take you from behind, push myself into your mind When you least expect it, will you try to reject it? Give it up, do as I say; Give it up and let me have my way.. | |

If you have any recordings on audio of her then may I suggest you have then uploaded to a 'puter and burnt to a cd. The same can be done for video recordings. Last year I done that for someone and he was over the moon that I had got the recording (from an old bt answer machine) so clear the he thought his mate was there in the room with him. I recently saw an old video I took when I visited the crem where the family said goodbye to our matriarch (my gran). I filmed the listing in the book of rememberence (for my sis as we had paid for it to be put there), and still I cannot grieve for the loss (it has been about 18 years since she died). The only things I remember of gran is fingering the bowl out after she had made a cake, saturday tea time there, making the mint salad for sunday lunch and being banished when she was about to put a spice cake in the oven. There are loads more things I remember but I should not bore you with them. Try to remember the bad times and the good times with your sister they will make you feel better for remembering them all, as hard as they may be to bring back to you. |
