Time is an important thing but it is also the cause of a lot of pain;Some wish for it to go faster while others wish for it to go faster.Then there are those that wish it could just end. So enjoy the time in life you are given and don't worry so much.

Now we realize there were things we still had to say.
Now we realize how much nicer we could have been.
Why is it what you wanted us to hear couldn't be seen?
Now we wish we could have just one more day...

Now we realize how much we will miss those great debates.
All the memories we all have with you could fill a hundred crates.
And only now do we realize how much we will miss seeing youe face.
But we also realize your now in a much better place.

And only now do we realize how much you connected us all.
You will really bring us all together again next fall

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN
