I WANTED TO POST THE MUSIC TO THIS SONG BUT HAVENT FIGURED IT OUT YET. THIS SONG ALWAYS REMINDS ME OF HIM... NO MATTER WHERE I AM. HE WAS A STRONG GEMINI AS AM I AND WE BUTTED HEADS A FEW TIMES, FAMILY WILL DO THAT. IN THE END WE ALWAYS WORKED OUT OUR DIFFERENCES. HE ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT I WAS THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT HE EVER GOT... LAZ WAS A TREASURE IN MY LIFE AND I CONFIDED MANY THINGS IN HIM THAT I DIDNT IN OTHERS. I LOVE YOU PAPO AND MISS YOU EVERY DAY...
WISH YOU WERE HERE BY PINK FLOYD
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
