… I can write that date without a blink of an eye or a second thought …


… I just can’t write anything further about my mom …

… I have read, and posted, similar writings from friends about their experiences with death and the loss of loved ones …

… I admire those who can write about loosing a loved one …


… I cherish the ability to read their writings about loosing a loved one …


… I embrace their writings because it allows me to remember loosing a loved one …

… so I just continue my writing …

“Carry On” – Me – Most Times

wayne-pa-probate-lawyers-trust-living-carry-on-2

… but I can never write about me …

… I don’t know how to describe me …

… I don’t know how to explain me …

… I don’t know how to tell others what makes me tick …

… and because of my inabilities to do these things …

… I tend to show others things that I like …

… I tend to discuss books I like …

… I tend to show movies I like …

… I tend to share the music I like …

… and I someway, I hope this allows me to connect …

… I remain guarded most of the time …

… But the connection for which I search …

… has alluded me most of my life …

… so I carry on ….

“Carry On” – Me – Sometime

wayne-pa-probate-lawyers-trust-living-carry-on-3

… but every now and then – something happens …

… I encounter someone …

… one with similar scars …

… someone with similar buttons …

… someone with similar fears …

… and I smile …

Dear Me “Carry On” – Me – Unknown Times

wayne-pa-probate-lawyers-trust-living-carry-on-4

… mind you – I don’t know what will happen …

… a reason, a season, or a lifetime …

… like most things in life, I am not in charge …

… and that is okay …

… I can only enjoy particular moments …

… and those moments will be special …

… but in the immortal words of Gale Sayers …

… “The Lord is first” …

… “my friends are second” …

… “I am third” …

… So I carry on …

… so I will carry on and be fortunate enough to appreciate any further vegan diets, the just wrong and ungodly combination of Gucci and Louis Vuitton, and keeping score …

Dear Me “Carry On” – SNL Performance

Well I woke up to the sound of silence the cars 
Were cutting like knives in a fist fight
And I found you with a bottle of wine
Your head in the curtains and heart like the fourth of July

You swore and said we are not
We are not shining stars
This I know
I never said we are

Though I’ve never been through hell like that
I’ve closed enough windows to know you can never look back

If you’re lost and alone
Or you’re sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground

Carry on, carry on

So I met up with some friends in the edge of the night
At a bar off seventy five
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
All our neighbors and wives

But I like to think
I can cheat it all
To make up for the times, I’ve been cheated on
And it’s nice to know
When I was left for dead
I was found and now I don’t roam these streets
I am not the ghost you want of me

If you’re lost and alone or you’re sinking like a stone,
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground and
Carry on

Woah my head is on fire
But my legs are fine
After all they are mine
Lay your clothes down on the floor
Close the door
Hold the phone
Show me how
No one’s ever gonna stop us now

‘Cause we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we’re miles away
So we’ll come, we will find our way home

If you’re lost and alone
Or you’re sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground and
Carry on
