This thread is just to remember any important people or things that you'ved lost or past away.
I would like to take the time to remember my friend Robert, he passed away at the age of 10 in a car crash.. we were the best of friends :(
So I would like to remeber him.
I have 2:
My Grand Daddy, who died last year in around late October. His funeral was probably the last time I've cried… (I miss him terriblely). At the age of 76, however, I'm sure he lived a good life. He was so healthy, but then it deteriorated so fast...
My cat, Meowsey. She died Labor Day last year. Even though she was an ill-tempered cat, I still wouldn't have wanted anything to happen to her. My family had a short funeral when we buried her in our yard. I still think of her when I see her offspring...
Yeah, I have several myself. Good thread Matt…
My mother - She died after battling breast cancer for five years… I was twelve at the time, she was a great woman and inspirational to so many people. Her funeral was a massive turnout and after knowing her, I realise I am a better person myself.
Luke - A school freind who was hit by a car in a street near the school, he went straight to hospital and died over night. Sweet kid, hope he's somewhere better now. Died a few months back.
My Grandad - Ces, fought in the war and was a short tempered but lovable man, died a long time ago.
My Grandma - an unpridictable chain smoker, lived to a grand age and spoilt me to death. Fun to be with though.
My Aunt - died recently from a heart problem, only months away from being a grandmother, lively woman, glad I knew her.
Nessie (my dog) - My first dog, died a month before my mother died. The fatest, cuddliest and most special mutt you ever laid eyes on. ~<3
My cousin - Nice kid, got runover too, she deserved a better and longer life. I hope she oneday reaches that dream.
Well, that's my contribution. ^^ There are more, but mostly distant relations, so I'll just keep with the above for now.

My father….a kind loving man who passed away on Good Friday 1999.
My grandfather.....the guy I admired most....passed away on Christmas Day 2000.
There was this other boy named Matthew at my school and he died from being handicap… and one day he went to sleep and never woke up... :(
It was the sadest day ever! He was in grade 7 and I was in the sixth grade at the time :(
I'll never forget em.
My Grandpa passed away last month. He was a WWII vet~
I lost a friend about 2-3 years ago in a freak car accident.
My grandfather- A smoker, mechanic in WW2. Lung cancer.
My other grandfather- Also a smoker. Lung cancer.
Aunty Elsie- Another smoker. Lung cancer.
Uncle Jim- Stomach cancer.
Aunty Wendy- Another form of cancer.
Grandmother Chamberlain- Cancer.
Great nanny- Cancer, old age.
My rabbits (Emma + Sophia)- Killed by a dog.
Uncle Robert- Car crash.
At Robert's funeral I had to say a poem I made up:
your life on Earth,
forgotten now,
you walked away,
with furrowed brow,
confused perhaps,
you got there how?
I cried for lost life.
But no longer.
In dreams I saw,
of you a trace,
no recognition,
on your face,
you walk away,
and I give chase.
But I stand alone,
no longer.
I have 2 friends to i lost
Shanequa- died from mengibitus 1999(the first person i met when i first came to the states)
Jordan Gross-die from some sort of cancer i believe 2001(A really cool guy i met in 7th grade)
I lost my beautiful Mum last year six, weeks after we found out she had cancer.
She was one of those people who just shone out of their eyes and if she was in a group photo her huge smile would make her stand out a mile.
She was the best. Being Christians helps but there is a huge hole where she was.
I haven't cried yet. I think I'm scared that if I do I will break in half.
When I was 12 I lost my lovely Nan (my favourite Anime fan), who lived with us. I still miss her.
I lost a friend in one freak car crash and my cousin in another.
Another cousin was killed on a motor bike.
When Nan died I was adopted by her dog, an unusually scruffy apricot poodle called Amber. If anyone hit me she would bite them and if anyone but me tried to lift her off my bed when I was in it she would growl. The next year we moves somewhere I couldn't keep her and have to give her up…
I'm still looking out for her.
My brother and I played this song at Mum's funeral.. It's called Gold in them hills by Ron Sexsmith and Chris Martin (she grew up on these hills her father owned). It just seemed perfect.
I know it doesn't seem that way
but maybe it's the perfect day
even though the bills are piling
and maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling
But if we'd only open our eyes
we'd see the blessings in disguise
that all the rain clouds are fountains
though all our trouble seem like mountains
There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
so don't loose heart
give the day a chance to start
Every now and then life says
"where you think you're going so fast"
we're apt to think it's cruel but sometimes
it's a case of cruel to be kind
and if we get up off out knees
why then we'd see the forest for the trees
and we'd see the new sun rising
over the hills in the horizon
There's gold in them hills
there's gold in them hills
so don't lose faith
give the world a chance to say
a word or two, my friend
there's no telling how the day might end
and we'll never know until we see that
there's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
so don't lose heart
give the day a chance to start
There's gold in them hills
there's gold in them hills
Hugs to all those who have loved and lost. :)
This one goes out to my mum… one of the best women ever. She died last year, after a four year battle with colon cancer. She never ceased to amaze me, she was 63 but you never would have guessed it. Forever young, she was. Hell, her favorite anime was Golden Boy! (Yes, we watched anime together, and not because I forced her to! :) ) Always there for people, no matter what was needed she did her best to help everyone. I have never known a more kind and loving soul. While it kills me to know she's no longer here, I try to think more of how blessed I was to have her as my mother. And hey, Redpirate, I feel the same way. It feels as though if I start to cry, I'll never be able to stop.
Agentginrei,
Your Mum sounds like a great lady.
My mum was also 63 (but you would also never know it). I recon they would be getting a long rather well right about now. (My mum and Nan both liked Astroboy).
You mentioned feeling blessed to have had her as a mum and that's exactly how a feel. It made it so much easier to know here was this woman who was kind and good and fun and special and I was lucky enough to be born into her family. I felt like even having her for a relatively short time was such a privelege and so many people don't get to have that. I'm glad you did too.
I guess the tears will come when we are ready, huh.
It takes a lot of courage to let the tears go. I couldn't even do it as a child when Nan died. From earlier experience I can only say that when it happens you feel better and know she would never judge your tears or your laughter. I still feel a little guilt when I laugh or enjoy something but I remind myself Mum would want me to laugh and enjoy life just as she always did.
Mums are special that way.
Hug for Agentginrei. :D
Aww… that was so nice! hugs back Yeah, don't feel at all bad for being happy... That's how she would want you to be! At my mum's memorial service... it was more like one of our regular family gatherings than a depressing funeral-type thing. It was awesome to see so many people show up in bright spring green (it was her favorite color). We all just hung out, ate lots and LOTS of chicken curry ^_^, and talked about how wonderful she was. That's the way to do it, really. Focus on the good times. I know she'd be so upset if we were upset, ya know? Hell, even as she was dying she was only concerned about everyone else, she didn't want to upset us. Anyways, HUGS for everyone. ^^
My dog, Tiffy , Who died in her sleep 5 years ago.
My grandfather on my mothers side, who died November 20th, 2000, from Colon Cancer.
My aunt Flo, Who passed away in 1998, Died in her sleep.
My budgie, Sammy, Who died in February, during the night.
My Grandfather (both my parents side) and Grandmother (father side)… they passed away when I was only a baby. And I am deeply, deeply sorry for you guys.... I, Monkey.D.Luffy pray that all of their souls (including mine) shall find peace.....
Now praying
................
Finished praying
I have some loved people:
My Grandpa-He went to a heart surgery…but his organs failed...he was a graet man.He liked me so much,even I wasn´t his real grandaughter.Thanks to him I´m chating with you guys today...
My Aunt-She had an cerebral accident suddenly...she was a funny and a happy lady.Liked to travelling...
My Uncle(My Granny´s Brother)-It started with a Stomach Cancer...and during three years he fought against it.But when ended,his body became too fragile,and in a night,3 weeks ago,he went to the hospital,and 5 days later,he died.He was the family´s artist,and I learn a lot of things with him,and we like the same type of music...a very creative man.
My cat Zaza-Who died January,2004.He felt from the kitchen´s area,in 4th floor.He broke his back...
I miss all this dearest people...
My father, who was killed in an accident last year. He had only just celebrated his 50th birthday.
My abyssinian cat who I knew before he was born. He died five years ago due to a heart problem. He was only eight at the time and died the day before we returned home from holiday.
My grandfather who had an unexpected stroke in 1996 and died. I can't say I knew him as well as I should and wanted to.
My great uncle who died the day after my grandfather. He had been battling cancer for a few years.
Caracal, a hug for you and tangerine rice. I hope you like tangerines.
When I lost my Mum last year the only thing that helped me was to remember how wonderful she was, how much she loved us and her great sense of humour and how privelidged I was to have her for the time I did.
Your Dad loves you very much and nothing can take that away, ever.
Once you have someone like that they are always with you.
Be kind to yourself and don't worry about what you should be feeling.
I'm still waiting to cry. Talk if you want to, don't if you don't. Don't listen to anyone who tells you to get over it or tries to control your feelings. They may care heaps about you but they probably don't get it.
Whatever you do or don't do he'll understand.
I had to keep reminding myself she would want me to laugh and have fun.
Same goes for you Caracal. Luffy is funny! Go with it!
My Great-grandpa Ernie
My Great-aunt Sherry
My cousin Johnny
My friend, Del
My dog, Toto
… I can't remember if there's anyone else.
Just giving recognition to those already passed... It's a good way to ease pain.
I've never realized how we all lost so many people.
Well we'll keep them all in our prayers :)
I wanna see my great grandad again…
From my memory -
1. My grandmother - Cancer
2. My grandfather - Age
There are more but I can't remember them.
I must say I'm very lucky that I've never lost a person important to me in my life. I have had two grandparents pass away, but one was when I was too young to remember and the other was a lady I'd never met and, honestly, had never heard of until her funeral.
I have, however, lost two pets, both dogs I've had for over seven years. One was bitten by a rattlesnake and died. The other died of old age… he was older than I am. He was twenty years old; that's like two hundred in dog years! I miss them, though; I lost them within weeks of each other a few months ago.
My condolances to those who lost more than I.
 
The definition of yummy…
