I have a longer piece planned, that is in a different vein from all that I have thus far written about him, but today, I had to write it down. Today has been terrible, because today, he has been gone ten years, two-fifths of my life, all of my adulthood, one whole decade.

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again.
He would sing this to me, he had a fantastic voice, good enough to go pro. And I know he genuinely believed it, he called me Susanna, he always thought he would see me again. He never did. I wish I had more of him than pictures and genetics. Most of all, I wish I knew how to stop feeling like this. For the first time in a long time, I desperately wish he was here. I still can't believe it's been ten years, two-fifths of my life, one whole decade.
