It has now been a year since we lost Andrew. When
a horrible event happens we humans not only remember the date, but we
also take a mental snapshot of the way things look, feel, and for some
even smell at that moment. This time of the year the trees and flowers
are exploding with life and the start of summer is in the air. I just
smell the spring air and memories of last year come flooding in. No
words exist to express the pain of losing your son. Not only losing my
son, but my best friend. He was the most unique person that I ever met,
a true force of nature. I try to feel as if all of this new green spring
life just absorbed him, and he is with us all now as any true force of
nature is, for Andrew was not a tame lion. I am and will always be most proud to be his father. I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this forum. It has been wonderful to share in others’ memories of Andrew. Please keep it going; let’s keep his memory strong. Others have shared lyrics from songs they feel have helped them or described Andrew. Here’s one from me. From the movie "Shrek" - I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you She tied you To a kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Maybe I've been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah There was a time you'd let me know What's real and going on below But now you never show it to me do you? Remember when I moved in you? The holy dark was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Maybe there's a God above And all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you It's not a cry you can hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
