Sometimes it's hard not to take everything we have for granted and when we loose things it seems we only then realise how much we wanted them! Or, in the case of a human, how much we're going to miss them. Aidan was one of those people you never hated. He was just the type of person you never had a reason to hate. I'm sorry I didn't spend more time seeing how he and his twin, Conrad, were. I'm sorry I didn't appreciate him more and I'm sorry I didn't let him know I thought he'd done 'alright' with himself. So, from now on I'm going to make that attempt no matter how stupid I look going up to my friends praising them for just being themselves! Sadly though, saying sorry won't bring Aidan back, however, maybe his death happened for a reason, and that reason for me, was so I'd get off my butt and get on with my own life! It p'ved me yesterday after his funeral to see no hopers sitting on the station and to wonder why they were alive and not Aidan?!?! Someone with hopes and dreams and plans and..everything! He could have had it all, he wanted it all, and if he had the chance, he would have got it all too. Remember that, when you're next down in the dumps. Aidan didnt have a choice, you do! Live your life how it's meant to be lived! Be greatful you have one at all! It's something to be treasured, not wasted. -Rachel.

G'b.y.e Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle Autumn rain. When you awaken in the mornings hush, I am the swift uplifting rush. Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. -Annon. This is the song played as Aidans coffin left the funeral.. recognise it? Television screens played Star Wars holograms on the televisions scattered around the room over the top of the funeral as it accured. It was extremly sad - and moving. The last words spoken were 'May the force be with you' , then, he was gone. *.Main.* StorY!*AdoptioN* gRoOvY-Tv!!* GrOoVy GoObErS*shAmrOck!* S.O.S!* BuDdY* Thê IntërÑêt* A Poem.* About Me.* Cliques'* Cyber-Pets!* ThanX!* Webrings.* ScrapBook* Friends* j.o.u.r.n.a.l* Aidan* .That Thing You Do.* Weasel&Gwen* Bombettes* Award* © Gwennie. 1999
