Death of a loved one

We never get to say who comes & goes in our lives. Coming to terms with a death is a difficult time.
Did we get to say good-bye? Did we get to tell them that we loved them, on last time? Did we tell them how special they were?

Most of the time, the answer is no. That leaves us with so much that we want to say, or felt we should.

This month (Feb 2010) our family lost Anthony Michael Barrow, at 21. He was just too young to say "good-bye" to.

And no, we didn't get to say "good-bye", or tell him how much we loved him.
