Dedicate a Song, Image, or Writing to the Dead

[Metis]

This was playing when my grandparents first danced together.

Lili Marleen

I don't know if it was this version.

This one goes out to an old friend, who met his reaper a bit unexpectedly, not to long ago. This one's for you Marine. Rest Easy my friend.

 

[Dreamer]

I used to play this song for my dad often. I always think of the two of us in the living room with me on the piano, and my dad shutting his eyes while on a big red comfy sofa we had. A fresh autumn breeze gently makes its way through the crack of the window and a soft light of a lowered sunshine fills the room. This song and imagery that comes with it always brings me solace.

This song really hit me after my father died in 2012. I have never held another human being in such high regard. He was a kind and gentle soul yet strong as bear and unmoving as a mountain when the situation warranted. I’ve learned to live without out him and most thoughts of him bring a smile, yet there are times I miss him terribly. Until we meet again.

They know who they are, if such a thing is possible, and so do I.

 

[The Cat]

They know who they are:

Until...

My grandfather used to play Danny Boy at my grandmother's grave. I kept time for him on an Irish drum.

Today is her birthday.

Happy birthday!

Thank you for taking care of me when I was little. :hi:

 

[Metis]

Birthday Daffodils

 

[The Cat]

For my Paternal Grandfather...the rock I clung to in the stormy seas of my family.

The one man I knew who could put himself in anyone's shoes.

He was a million miles from a million dollars but you could never spend his wealth.

For my grandmother...not exactly a song, but nature's song. She loved being outside. <3

 

[Coriolis]

 

[The Cat]

This is the song I want at my wake...

For the Service:

For the Lighting of my pyre at dusk:

 

[Lord Lavender]

For my late Paternal Grandfather who loved the Good,the Bad and the Ugly.

For my late Aunt who was a lover of early 2000s music

[Metis]

This started playing while I was thinking, just now, about how I'd like to have the chance to take care of my grandmother, if she ever came back to life as my kid--if reincarnation exists.

[MENTION=30122]Lord Lavender[/MENTION] reminded me of her. Earl Grey tea! LOL

This one makes me think of some of the great scientists we have lost during my lifetime: most recently Stephen Hawking, but also Charles Townes, Vera Rubin, and especially Carl Sagan.

 

[Metis]

To my godmother​

 

[Maou]

To humanity.

 

[Obfuscate]

the last one was my aunt... this one is my brother... pretty much died of the same shit more or less... anyway, this song ran through my head a lot when i stayed up at night to take care of him... i guess the funeral today (yesterday if you think of the day changing at midnight instead of after you fall asleep) put it on my mind again...
