I haven't been around because I lost my beloved sister and both of her
in-laws in a car accident.

I just got my act together and got back to work yesterday. I still have
moments where I just want to break down.

Here's a little piece of advice:

If you have loved ones you haven't spoken to in a while...

TELL THEM YOU LOVE THEM.

You may not get the chance if you wait.

Damn Sigs... That is rough! You sure have had a lot of sadness in the past year.. Hope you are doing OK... Hang tough my brother!! My thoughts are with you and your family..

Thanks Soup.

Yeah, in the last 18 months I have lost a Grandmother, a Uncle, my best
friend and my sister.

I guess we all have to play the hand that was dealt to us, right?

Truthfully - if I wasn't busy keeping the family together I'd be a basket case.

Damn bro..................*man hugs*

A tribute to my beloved sister Tina


"I Will Not Say Goodbye"
(As sung by Danny Gokey)

Sometimes your world just ends
It changes everything you've been.
And all that's left to be,
is empty, broken, lonely, hoping...

I'm supposed to be strong,
I'm supposed to find a way to carry on
And I don't wanna feel better,
And I don't wanna not remember,
I will always see your face
in the shadows of this haunted place

I will laugh, I will cry,
Shake my fist at the sky...
But I will not say goodbye

They keep saying time will heal,
but the pain just gets more real
The sun comes up each day, and
finds me waiting, fading, hating, praying

If I can keep on holding on,
Maybe I can keep my heart
from knowing that you're gone

And I don't wanna feel better,
I don't wanna not remember,
I will always see your face
in the shadows of this haunted place

I will laugh, I will cry,
shake my fist at the sky...
But I will not say goodbye

I will curse, I will pray,
I will re-live every day
I will shout through the blame,
I'll shout out your name

I will laugh, I will cry,
Shake my fist at the sky
But I will not say...
Will not say goodbye

I will not say goodbye...
I will not say...


I love you and miss you, sis.

Your big brother,

Joey

Elves can sneak under ANYTHING.

...If I happened to show up on your door step crying, would you care?

...If I called you and asked you to pick me up because something happened,
would you come?

...If I had one day left to live my life, would you be a part of that last day?

...If I needed a shoulder to cry on, would you give me yours?

This is a test to see who your real friends are - or if you are just
"someone to talk to" when they are bored.

Remember in this upside-down "it's all about me" mindset of today:

It takes a friend to be a friend.

This has been a free lesson in life from a older and wiser Rush dude.

Siggs, yes.
