Throughout your lifetime, people will come and go. Some of these people become good friends, some are people you work with, some you just like their music, acting, or whatever they do that catches your attention.
This is for all of those people that I have lost whose “craft” drew me to them in some way.
As I grew up watching wrestling with my brother and then some with my son, I enjoyed watching Hulk Hogan. He seemed bigger than life at the time. Now he is gone.
I really loved listening to Ozzy also. His music drew me in and I felt good just listening to it. He was like a mysterious, rocking, artist with a great voice and so much talent. He has also left us.
My brother was my best friend growing up. We were always together and I always got to play football with him and his friends. We had so much fun. But now he is gone also.
My best friend, when I worked at WalMart in Ohio, and I used to do so
manu things together. I would go to her house and she would come to mine. We would go out to eat, go shopping, take her fur baby out to play, and so much more. We always talked about everything. Now she is gone.
I know that people don’t live forever. I know I wouldn’t want to. But it really hurts to lose them. Even though some of them I have never met in person, just knowing that they are gone, takes a little piece of you with them.
We know they are no longer in pain and that is a relief. But all we have left after that is the memories of what was. Knowing that, with them, it will never happen again.
All of this helps to shape you and has a hand in what you become. It is just difficult to know that they are gone. They can never be replaced, but you may find someone or something to help fill some of the holes left behind by their leaving.
