  Dead Guys

I guess I've been thinking too much about demise. My mom had died on May ninth. I've been keeping myself busy looking things up. I've compiled a list of people who have died who were singers. Most of these people have gone way too soon. I thought it would be easy to do, but it was fairly difficult to find singers who died that were unexpected because they were younger than they should have been when they died, as my mom and dad both were... they were way, way too young. I hope I didn't include any people who are still alive. I tried to look all of them up.

This is not a significant post. Just something I was doing trying to keep myself from thinking too much. Most of these people died a long time ago. I guess that people are living longer these days, if they've got the health care that everyone should.

Edit: My mom went nine years ago. It has been awhile, but it still is on my mind, as it is on yours if you've lost someone in your family.

They're pretty old, too! But, I guess if they're dead, the songs would be old...

There isn't a day that goes by that I do not think of my mom and dad, remembering little things that were said or done. Memories are wonderful when we suffer such losses.

Angie, my memories are completely intact... sometimes too much so.

The anniversary of my dad's passing is coming up May 18th. It has been many, many years since we lost him; but that day never passes without my remembering every moment of that day. Bless you this Mother's Day. Your mother lives on through you.

Ahhh, Joan... and your dad through you!

It is never easy to lose someone so close, and I can understand how youare feeling. Just know that she is still with you and caring for you.

AJ, that is one thing that worries me. I know she's here watching and worrying. I wish she would have more peace in the afterlife.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

The poet meant that every time somebody dies, we are all diminished in some way.
My Dad died six years ago on April 27. I commemorated the date with silent thoughts of him.
I'm so sorry for your - our - loss.

Jim, I know that each and everyone who touched our lives left an indelible mark... They are in a better place and we will be with them one day. We will all be together... All of us; I'm convinced of it.

I'm so sorry for your loss, and I wish you peace and happiness.

Oh, thank you so much, Vic. I just visited your site. Where have you gone? I used to talk with you on Blogster. Are you there now?
reply by sunlight on May 30, 2008 11:08 PM ()
Bless you sweetie. We didn't know. My mother and I were incapable of getting along but I still miss her after l9 years. I miss my father more because we were close. They were too young to go. Try to live in the present and remember the past happiness you shared with them. Hugs.

Jeri, they always go too soon. My dad went when I was a child and my mom when I was a young adult. My family doesn't last long...

What you are going through is I believe part of the natural 'grieving and, ultimately the 'healing' process. My mother died back in '81, it takes a long, time to 'get over', but, you will. You obviously will never 'forget' her (even if you couldn't get 'on' with her) because she was, a 'part' of your memory. The anniversary of her passing away, will be part of 'you' too . . try to look on it as a celebration of what she was, to you. I know, your mother would defineitly, not want you to 'hurt'. Always think of the laughs, the two of you enjoyed together, rather than remembering and feeling sad.
When I think of my own mother & father, I talk to them - as if they are here in the room ~ I think they are, here to be honest and, that's great!
If, I can manage to get through the 'technology' of visiting my loved ones when I am gone, I will be returning - I have already told all of them this and they are ready for my return! Please Sunlight, your mum wont want you to be unhappy, so smile and tell her something comical, that has happened to you lately ~ just as you would if you could see her, I do

Augusta, if anyone could come back, I know you will. I will, too. I tell my husband that when I'm gone, I'm going to be flitting all over the place. And, I think I will be...

My mom and dad are fond memories... They were wonderful for the short while I had them. They are with me always.
