Family Tribute:

CLOSER

As close as the sea is to the seashore
The tide still rises twice a day
That’s just the ocean’s way of getting CLOSER
CLOSER

As close as today is to tomorrow
At midnight they can fin’lly touch
Cuz every minute brings them that much CLOSER
CLOSER

So on this silent night
I call your name and suddenly
All time and space between us disappear

I see your face in firelight
I hold you close in memory
And even though I know you’re gone, I know you’re here

As close as the glow is to the ember
You’ve always been a part of me
Now living in my heart you’re even CLOSER
CLOSER

INTERLUDE

I see your face in firelight
I hold you close in memory
And even though I know you’re gone, I know you’re here

As sure as there’s snowfall in December
Your love lives on in everything
Summer, winter, fall or spring
Every thought of you will bring us CLOSER

The distance may be large or small
Someday I know that we will all be CLOSER

I was VERY fortunate to have reconnected with my high school friend, Patty Pitchford, via classmates.com in 1999. Patty and I attended Our Redeemer Lutheran High School in Honolulu and had not spoken in years before reconnecting. I have to tell you we had a great time walking down memory lane, sharing stories about our new lives and familes, and simply enjoying our journey in life. We emailed many times and talked on the phone. The following months would mean losing contact - yet again. I tried locating Patty's info and, in the process, discovered she had perished in the attacks on the World Trade Center. My hear sank.

That day - September 11th - I prayed that NO ONE I knew was in either building or on any of the planes. I had no idea Patty was fully engaged. My God. I had no idea.

I am so thankful for the brief reconnection with my high school friend. In high school, I looked up to Patty - I thought she was larger than life and pretty damn tough. I guess I never knew how much I would realize the reality of my sense of her.

My thoughts and prayers are with Patty's loved ones and with her.
