And tomorrow starts another ten years since you've been gone
It's only been two years since Aaron died, but it easily feels like twenty. I know I feel at least twenty years older since September 2004.
The thing I hate most is how this changed my identity, how I'm now that girl that used to have a brother, that girl that doesn't have a brother anymore. And Karen and Mom both still feel that too, feel that way pretty chiefly. No one ever tells you about that part. It's just not who you want to be.
But blah blah blah, enough about me. How's everybody else doing? Drop a comment here or write to me directly.
And in the strangeness and the memory, I can't seem to get this song out of my head today...

TITLE: Happy Christmas (War Is Over)
Lyrics and Chords
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
{Refrain}
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas War is over
For weak and for strong If you want it
For rich and the poor ones War is over
The road is so long Now
And so happy Christmas War is over
For black and for white If you want it
For yellow and red ones War is over
Let's stop all the fight Now
{Refrain}
And so this is Christmas War is over
And what have we done If you want it
Another year over War is over
And a new one just begun Now
And so happy Christmas War is over
I hope you have fun If you want it
The near and the dear one War is over
The old and the young Now
{Refrain}
War is over if you want it
War is over now
