I was out yesterday doing some shopping, it felt so strange not pushing Terry around in his wheelchair, felt as if something was missing. I went in search of some music to be played at his funeral yesterday for his wife. One song I found easily enough was Tina Turner's "The best". She was Terry's favourite. The other one wasnt so easy. Its a song by Ned Millar (ive never heard of him before" called from "A Jack to a King", apparently Terry Sand it to his wife the day he proposed, any ways with the help of 2 very helpful staff members of the Sight and Sound library I managed to track it down and hired it from the local library. I know people might be thinking I am taken the loss of Terry badly but for the last 5 years since he lost his leg I was with him most days taken him out, to hospitals etc. But apart from him being my BIL he was also a great friend, we have know each other for over 40 years, we were brought up as kids together. It was Terry who taught me to ride a Bike, Ok he took me to a top of a Hill and let go of me, but it taught me quick how to ride.
Anyways his funeral is Tuesday, as it i a Bank holiday here in england on Monday, I have been digging through my poems lately and I came across this one I wrote in 2001 for another friend who lost someoe close. I beleive people can take cmfort from it, and it is getting read out at his funeral
Time To Remember
Time to think
Time to laugh
Time to Cry
Time to remember
Remember the good times
Remember the bad times
Remember why he loved you
Remember why he cared
They say time is a great healer
But it never takes away the hurt
Just gives you time to think
And remember him with love
Dave Emmerson 2001
