If Only In My Dreams, If Only In My Heart

Appropriate words escape me this holiday season and so I will turn to words of a song to convey the emotions I feel –
?MY BUDDY?
Life is a book that we study.
Some of its leaves bring a sigh.
There it was written, my Buddy,
that we must part, you and I…

Nights are long since you went away.
I think about you all through the day,
My buddy, my buddy,
Nobody quite so true.
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand-
Just long to know that you understand,
My buddy, my buddy,
Your buddy misses you.

Buddies through all of the days.
Buddies when something went wrong.
I wait alone through the gray days,
missing your smile and your song…

Nights are long since you went away.
I think about you all through the day
My buddy, my buddy,
Nobody quite so true.
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand-
Just long to know that you understand,
My buddy, my buddy,
Your buddy misses you.

To be honest, it has been a difficult and challenging year. We continue to be ever grateful to family and friends (as one very good one recently said, ?chosen family?) who continue to remember our Cailean and reach out to us with love and support. Many thanks to all those who came to Boston to participate in the May NAMI Walk ? as I?ve already stated – you came to honor Cailean – what a tribute! We hope you, and even more, will join us for this event on May 19, 2007.

Cailean will be home for Christmas this year- if only in my dreams, if only in my heart. Merry Christmas, Cailean – Love forever and a day, Mom
