Sweet, sweet Tiffany,
Happy 29th Birthday, my darling angel! I am sitting here with tears pouring down my checks and my heart is breaking all over again. I turned on my iPod to listen to music and no sooner had I started listening when the music shuffled to Judy Garland singing "Over the Rainbow".
And all I could remember was living in a little steel house in CT in 1989 with you and Troy and, on a whim, buying the 50th anniversary VHS tape of "The Wizard of Oz". After that, there was no getting you to stop watching that tape in the cute family room of that little steel house.
As those memories swept through me, the next song that came on was Avril Lavigne's "I Miss You". Oh so appropriate. And now, as I write, "Music of the Night" from "Phantom of the Opera" is playing. I just know it is you letting me know you're all right and that you're with me even now.
"Let your soul take you where you long to be"
~~Andrew Lloyd Weber
Yes, you're where you probably always wished to be but I miss you so much that I am breathless. As I come to the end, Sarah McLachlan's "In the Arms of an Angel" is playing. I love you, Tiffany, my angel, to heaven and beyond. Thank you for being with me on this special day.
"I miss you so bad,
I don't forget you,
Oh, it's so sad,
I hope you can hear me,
I remember it clearly
the day you slipped away
was the day I found
it won't be the same."
~~ Avril Lavigne
(Now I know you're messing with me...the opening music from "Wicked"? Our last road trip to NYC)
