Think of Me

How happy you all made each other! Kenton and Tino, Kenna and Mina, KC and Calvin

I made a list of the movies I have seen more that 5 times. It was as eclectic as yours, starting with Dirty Harry, The Godfather I and II and ending with The Phantom of the Opera and Sense and Sensibility. Go figure! So many songs have different meaning now. Ones that were beautiful just in their setting can now bring me to tears for deeper reasons. I loved the song "Think of Me" from Phantom, but today when I watched the movie (again!), the lyrics seemed different. They aren't, we just are. Today Kameron and KC had to let Tino go and I just keep thinking, when will all this sadness end? In a little over  year we lost first our Dawna; your Baby Kitty; you, our precious girl; Rascal; Kameron's Jon Coppersmith and now Tino. Too much loss, too much pain. But we think of you, always.

Think of me, think of me fondly
when we've said goodbye.
Remember once in awhile,
please, promise me you'll try.

When you find, that once again,
you long to take your heart back and be free,
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me.

We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea,
but if you can still remember,
stop and think of me.

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen,
don't think about the way things
might have been.

Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.

Recall those days,
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do,
there will never be a day when
I won't think of you.

Flowers fade,
the fruits of summer fade,
they have their seasons, so do we,
but, please promise me, that sometimes
you will think of me.

Andrew Lloyd Webber

Our Dawna and Knana! Look how much Kenna loved her. Sweet.
