Don't Fade Away

There was a time a while back when I thought, hoped, assumed, that eventually some day I wouldn't have to make treks to family outings, gatherings, events, or celebrations alone.  But year after year has passed, and I'm finally at a place of acceptance, where I know that this is how it is, how its going to be.   Once you lose that hope, the image fades, and you no longer can imagine it.  But life continues.  We go on.  

I found a new Willie Nelson song today, called "Don't Fade Away".  Wish I could find a youtube of the song, but here's a snippet of the lyrics:

Don't fade away
Hold on to your dreams
Through waves of suffering
The tide will turn again
Don't fade away

All that you've seen
All that you've done
Don't say it's over
You hold the key
Unlock the sun

May all of you find your dreams!
