Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You"
Oddly enough, this was the song playing on the radio when the kids woke me up this morning. It's a song for the days when you're missing those you've lost. Today I'm remembering two friends in particular.
Twenty-two years ago today, the world lost a brilliant, creative, energetic girl named Nicole. She was sixteen and, just as she had made a difference in life, the impact of her death on her classmates was great and long-lasting. We remember you always, Nicole.
A few years later, I faced one of my greatest challenges as a manager when a friend and co-worker, Pete, lost his life in a motorcycle accident. He and his girlfriend had just found out she was pregnant. He was so young and his death left a definite void in the warehouse. We missed his smile, his laughter, his biting wit. A month later I put together a video for a staff meeting with a tribute to Pete and this is the song I used. Pete, I will remember you.
Weep not for the memories.
