To Jack

Sitting in my old and dusty room
I tell myself that things will change
But you see, when I wake up from my dreamin'
It's still the same, I can't believe you've gone away

Writing letters by the candlelight
I look for words to bring you back
Can't you see, it won't let go of me
Please let me be and set me free

'Cause you see, when I wake up from my dreaming
It's still the same, I can't believe you've gone away
The tears that I cry

Can't you see, it's been a long time
Long time, long time, long time
Give it to me, yeah, me yeah

I try and realize you're gone
I tell myself that wanting you is wrong
No matter what I say or do
Got to learn, it's easy to forget you

Words won't stop the pains I have inside
Got to change the feelings that I hide
And now the only thing left to do,
Is to tell you, the only way I ever knew, now listen man

An empty room's become an old routine
And locked inside is all my pride
All my tears, have run down through the years
I'm wanting more and more of you

I walk the streets, though they're raked with rain
Through lonely days, the lonely nights won't stop the pain
Yeah, livin' on, since time is done
I feel this bad, from everywhere

For the things we had in yesterday
And the times we shared, the times to stay
Long time, long time, long time, long time, time, time
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Can't you see? Can't you see?

Bye Nick; Wish You Were Here

Too young to die.

 

To Michael; I've spent most of my life wishing I could find my younger brother again, after he died. The closest I have come to seeing his face again was in the smile on my son's face. We will never forget your younger brother.

Dylan Redwine's Aunt Makes Interesting Comment

Someone claiming to be Dylan Redwine's aunt recently made a very interesting comment on a website called Gather concerning Dylan's relationships with family members. Thirteen year old Dylan disppeared shortly after arriving at his father's house in Colorado for a court ordered visit. I will run the comment here:

"My brother would not withhold information that would help to find his son. He has been just as upset as everyone else that his son is missing. His ex-wife Elaine and his other son Cory have been in the media, but he is himself just as distraught as they are over the disappearance of Dylan. As far as the custody dispute, a lot of couples go through bitter and angry divorces, and as I have said before, children sometimes hear things that they were not meant to hear and interpret them as something entirely different than what it was meant to be. I do know that Dylan loved both his parents and his brother and his brothers from a prior marriage. Unfortunately, in situations like this, they are going to look at my brother as having something to do with this, but they should be looking at both parents and or anyone involved or related to their divorce proceedings. As mothers and siblings have in the past had involvement in cases like this to get back at the other parent or parents if it is a sibling. Sad, but true. In any case, that is all I have to say at the time. As now it is going on the 8th day of Dylan’s disappearance, and I am just praying to hear some news soon. Hopefully we will hear something from my brother soon hear on our end. Until then, all I have is hope that Dylan will be found." ....Bridget Redwine-Simmers; Gather.com   While Redwine-Simmers describes her brother, Dylan's father, as "distraught", her own statements do not appear to have been made by a distraught aunt. Believe me; if any niece or nephew of mine had been missing for eight days, as Dylan had on the day this comment appeared, I would not have been on the internet defending my brother on social networking websites. I would have been helping my brother pass out flyers with my nephew's picture, and searching everywhere I could possibly search. Any post or comment I made anywhere would have contained, at the very least, a phone number where authorities could be reached in the event that Dylan was sighted by someone. I think I speak for most aunts, here. And what's up with the statement, "I do know that Dylan LOVED both his parents......"? Loved? As in, no longer? What, exactly, are you trying to say, Redwine-Simmers?

Lisa Irwin Still Missing

Not much is really new in the investigation of missing Lisa Irwin, who just turned eleven months old, but some empty leads have been followed up and dismissed, and at least one "person of interest", or possible witness, the "homeless man", Johnny Tanko, has been has been eliminated as having had anything to do with Lisa's disappearance. The "mystery man" in the footage at the grocery store with Lisa's mom is her brother. (I would still like to see him answer more questions about what happened short before his niece went missing) The Coast Guard is very busy searching for this baby, and no valid leads have surfaced.

Someone commenting on the story on one of the local news sites made an interesting point about looking for Lisa: look for a boy of around eleven months, not a girl. If someone has Lisa, the easiest way to disguise her and discourage anyone from even looking at her twice would be to dress her in boys' clothes and make her appear to be a boy, not a girl! If it's someone who knows little Lisa, they may even be calling her "Lee", instead of "Lisa". It's a long shot, but a good thing to keep in mind, so I thought I would toss the idea out there for everyone to consider.

Maybe someone can play with an image of Lisa, and show us all how Lisa would look in gender neutral, or boys' outfits. Maybe Debbie Bradley and her brother will give investigators more complete information, too.
