Sometime a song just hits home. I came across this song
when a friend posted it on Facebook shortly after Olivia died.
Somehow it just seems o capture a lot of what I can't seem to
express in my own words.
Did we lose ourselves again?
Do we take in what's been said?
Do we take the time to be
All the things we said we'd be
And we bury heads in sand
But my future's in my hands
It means nothing
It means nothing
You can find yourself a God
Believe in which one you want
'Cos they love you all the same
They just go by different names
When we fly our flag today
Are you proud or just ashamed?
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
And the sun sets in the sky
You're the apple of my eye
If the bomb goes off again
In my brain or on the train
I hope that I'm with you
'Cos I wouldn't know what to do
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got youIf I haven't got you
As much as I understand your feeling this way after such a tragedy; as much as you have every right to feel as you do (after all they're your feelings - I'll never deny anyone's feelings!); every life, however short means something. Every death means *something*. As the people left behind, it is now our job; a part of our life; to ensure that Olivia's life and our lives mean something. It's a debt to Olivia's memory.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to despair and believe that Olivia's life was for naught, and now your lives are for naught ... but hers wasn't and yours aren't.
If these things didn't mean something, you wouldn't be grieving.
Make her life mean something and remember
"It means SOMETHING, EVEN If I haven't got you"
Hope you guys are doing ok! I am sure it is hard, but your daugher in her short little live touch more lives than most touch in a lifetime. Hang in there! Hugs from Georgia!
