My oldest son Ryan would be 40 on 1 June had he not been KIA in Iraq on 1 August, 2006. As much as I look forward to the coming of the season of warming temps and pleasant evenings like this one on deck, there’s also time to think about stuff. This tune is for my boy and for anyone out there in the Fediverse and Mastodon who’s lost someone close for whatever reason well before their time. I feel ya.

Love is in the water
Love is in the air
Show me where to look
Tell me will love be there?
Will love be there?
Teach me how to speak
Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
Tell me will love be there?
Will love be there?

Just sittin on deck waiting for a storm system to roll in. I think it’s time for a little 90s grunge. 😉

I'd like to believe we could reconcile the past
Resurrect those bridges with an ancient glance
But my old stone face can't seem to break her down
She remembers bridges, burns them to the ground

I have become Cumbersome
To this world
I have become Cumbersome
To my girl

Out on deck on a kinda chilly but decent Tuesday evening, doing my thing. Thinking about things. Thinking about my boy Ryan who’d be 39 this year on 1 June.

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal, it's so unfair
And it feels, and it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels, yeah, it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've Gone Away
