A decade just flew by...

Pooh-

A decade flew by... 10 whole years you've been gone. And although in the beginning it was so tough for me, even to imagine and come to grips that you were really gone, now I know I will be alright.

Days and weeks may go by and I may not think of you... but then some times out of the blue something reminds me of you. When the wind picks up a certain way or when a butterfly just won't leave the area that I'm in...

When people ask about my first tattoo I get to tell a story about you. People feel sorry that they've asked me since it is to remind me of someone who has past on. I assure them that I'm glad they did... for reminding me of why I got that silly ol' bear in the first place. It brings up innocent memories from my childhood (ohhh that makes me feel old).

Of course, I miss you. And I know I'll see you again.

Nine years has past without you. A post for Pooh.

In the Event of My Demise
by Tupac Shakur

In the event of my demise
when my heart can beat no more
I hope I die for a principle
Or a belief that I had lived for
I will die before my time
Because I feel the shadow's depth
So much I wanted to accomplish
Before I reached my death
I have come to grips with the possibility
And wiped the last tear from my eyes
I loved all who were positive
In the event of my demise

This was a poem that was given to me from Nate's brother shortly after his death.

Pooh was a very close high school friend of mine who was in an auto accident December 28, 1997.

As some of you know I have a Pooh tattoo on my shoulder/back for him.

We miss you and can't wait to see you again.

Tigg.
