As the years go by and we accumulate life experience, it takes on new meaning. It sounds as if you were fortunate to have found a life partner with which to share and build memories.

We first met at about the age of 11 and started dating until we left school at 16 then due to work commitments we drifted apart, occasionally meeting up at parties, school reunions ect. Eventually marrying other people, then in 2008 both having failed marriages we got together and married in 2009. Sadly she passed away in 2016 with a brain tumour. I should never have let her slip through my fingers all those years ago. Please forgive me for misleading you.

David Leaney DL, your story as you have filled it out is truely wonderful. Full of rich life experiences ... it might be that without the intermediate experiences, you and your wife would not have had the synergies that existed in your marriage.

[@Arbadee.PayZaLee]

@@johnalex4391 Well John, you seem to have a pretty myopic view of music and now that you mention you are a drummer, I worry about you. I would have thought a musician would have more of an open mind and acceptance of newer artists and their creativity. Reading your post make it look like you are saying, any music written after the 70's is crap and I was just trying to point out there is a ton of music that isn't crap. It's also pretty insulting to many newer musicians, to call their music crap. To be honest I have my doubts about your ability to recognize a good singer / songwriter, for you to make this statement "unlike the modern crap that makes me want to scream". If you are talking about top 100 music, I would mostly agree with you but that is not what you said. Is talent-less artists like Britney Spear's music (wait while I choke) crap? in my opinion, absolutely. I would categorize it as bubble gum music. You come off and sound like some old geezer and all I am saying is I think it is obvious (if you are actually being truthful) that you don't know what you are talking about. Just because you say you are a drummer doesn't make your opinion any more relevant than mine and you seem quite biased in your opinion. I'm in my 60's and I think I can recognize quality music outside of the 70's and there is a lot out there. I think you are missing out on a lot of good tunes because you seem to be so biased. Your loss I guess!

As a strong believer that there is life after death, this is a song [even if filled great sadness] that we will carry on in our hearts, in our souls for eternity as it will transcend time and space. To all the people who have lost their loved ones in their lifetime, have faith because it is the only force that gives us hope, that drives us forward along our life's journey. I firmly believe that we will reunite one day in God's Kingdom for everlasting life. Do not despair, we are here on Earth for only a brief passage in time like a spec of dust. To all the people that have been diagnosed and are stricken with a terminal disease, have faith that there are greater things waiting for you in God's Kingdom. My heart and compassion pours out along with my prayers for all of you. May God bless you all.
