To go at a distance from a specified thing, place or person. Show us 'away' in your space today.
Feeling a little melancholy today. I saw the film P.S. I Love You! a week ago. I downloaded the soundtrack after. It hit a little close to home for me. I was engaged when I was 26 years old and the wedding was going to take place in August of 1995 here in California. Instead my fiance was killed in a car accident in May of 1995 in France. Ironically it was his last night in France. He was departing to Morocco the next day to visit family before flying to California to join me. In my lifetime I have also experienced the death of two brothers. My brother Tom was only 21 when he died in a motorcycle accident in 1984. Then in 2001 my brother Jim died from an aggressive lymphoma. He was HIV+ and had been for 12 years or longer before he ended up with lymphoma. Here is my tribute to these three people who went away to soon. They were all way too young.

Big Hugz Hun... it's awful when loved ones are snatched from us before their time. It' a lovely tribute to these three special people that you share a little of their stories with us :D
I feel so sorry for you, they were so young... funny thing is, my first thought was to post a picture of my dad, who died 1996 in the age of 52..
A big virtual hug to you
a WONDERFUL tribute :)These feelings of loss have a habit of creeping up on us.
