“Wipe off your cheek
Roll down your window and speak
Words can’t break glass
What if we never come back?”
“Moving Target” – Chris Trapper
I’m not certain, but I believe the song is actually about being in a confrontational situation with someone close to you. Say what you mean now because we may never be here again.
My friend Dominic went in for surgery and died several days later due to complications. He didn’t know he might not come back home. At least I don’t think he did. The only hint that he might have known was that a couple days before he was due to go in, he emailed me (we emailed each other quite a bit) and asked me to call him. I did and we talked and I didn’t think much of it.
I know these are the breaks. I know this is how life works. But I also know that 12 years later it’s still bullshit that he’s gone. As it was last year, my run tomorrow is dedicated to the memory and soul of Dominic Melita.
Good luck tomorrow! I know Dom will be looking down on you going…. WTF are you doing all that running for! He would think you were insane…as do I. But still….good luck to you my friend!
