Something About Gary
A Dear Friend Forever Missed
There's something about Gary
we knew right from the start
that this friend in our life
will always have our heart
We know we'll never let go
of the memories he gave
they lie deep in our heart
for us to cherish and save
We hold them so close
when we whisper his name
we ask God for comfort
we all do the same
I can feel your hurt
and I know your pain
because we all loved Gary
so much the same
Reach out to his friends
because they loved him too
and then, all his love
will come back to you
When you are hurting inside
and the pain is too strong
just remember his sweet voice
that you knew all along
With Gary, time was no big deal
he always gave us his all
he was such a great friend
he was always on call
He was mine and he was yours
no one owned his heart
he loved you and he loved me
right from the start
We laughed and we cried
talked for hours on end
shared good and bad times
and we'd do it again
My children fell in love
with this wonderful man
they never forgot his touch
and yours loved him as much
The Gary I knew
was the Gary you knew too
let's embrace our hearts
and just say thank you
For deep within us
he touched our souls
he changed us and he moved us
his memory will be enough
When he left, we had no time
to tell him "we love you"
but he knew in his heart
that our love was true
No one could be so right
he just fit in our heart
there's something about Gary
we knew it from the start
We are left now to find
our own way through this
the loss that we feel
and the Gary we will miss
When we ask ourselves why
in this painful heated rush
and when the burden is too much
the memories we will touch
Reach deep inside yourself
to find a memory or two
enjoy these moments then
the ones he gave you
Take what you have
and use it all well
inside each of us
is a story to tell
Was there something he wanted
you to do with your life?
remember the message he gave
and become what he saw in his eyes
Remember his face
and that adorable smile
that will comfort you
for a little while
The turn of his head
the dimple we loved
that bashful grin
we couldn't get enough of
I know I won't forget
the long, long talks
all the time we spent
on our cold, cold walks
No one will ever enter
certain places he has been
tender moments he left behind
these are yours and these are mine
We all have these times
in our hearts to keep
and we shall love and miss him
as he is laid down to sleep
There's something about Gary
we knew right from the start
he will always and forever be
deep in our hearts

We have all lost a "Gary" in our lives. We will always miss them.
I hope that this can bring some comfort to you in your path you must walk without some dear one you loved.
Suicide is misunderstood. Some are quick to judge a person that takes their life.
But we must try to understand why someone takes their own life. It is not up to us to judge them or their actions. Some people say that people are weak and they take the easy way out. That is far from the real truth with suicide victims. By the time they got to that stage, they had already taken more than we could imagine. Pain to each person is different. Pain cannot be weighed or measured. What hurts one might not even bother another. I hate to see it when people make remarks about people who take their lives. They are not being selfish. They have tried everything they can, in order to remain in this hard, hard world. Perhaps they could see things that others could not and cannot. Perhaps their affections went unnoticed. Perhaps their concerns were not shared. You look at society today, and it is a hard thing to swallow at times. Those times can add up for any one of us.
