      It used to be so easy getting old. Now it is more painful and difficult. Some body parts are brand new while others are ancient.

    When I was a young boy back in the early 70's, I only had one friend. A girl named Veronica who was a year older and lived across the street. When I was around 6 or 7, she developed a brain tumor and wound up passing away in the next year. This song has always been a reminder of our friendship that was ended too soon, and I always get teary-eyed when I hear it.

    As a strong believer that there is life after death, this is a song [even if filled great sadness] that we will carry on in our hearts, in our souls for eternity as it will transcend time and space. To all the people who have lost their loved ones in their lifetime, have faith because it is the only force that gives us hope, that drives us forward along our life's journey. I firmly believe that we will reunite one day in God's Kingdom for everlasting life. Do not despair, we are here on Earth for only a brief passage in time like a spec of dust. To all the people that have been diagnosed and are stricken with a terminal disease, have faith that there are greater things waiting for you in God's Kingdom. My heart and compassion pours out along with my prayers for all of you. May God bless you all. I have lost many family members and friends along my life's journey, but I have faith and refuse to believe that we turn into dust and nothing more.

      He tells me of the wonders of the 60’s but the sadness’s of the war and how many friends never returned or were treated poorly when coming back from the war at only 19-20 etc.
      I can’t imagine how it was to feel that and so thank you for what you sacrificed for the country and what the country had those young kids do by mandatory rules. No choice at age 18-24 / you are SO APPRECIATED AND NEVER FORGOTTEN!

As the years go by and we accumulate life experience, it takes on new meaning. It sounds as if you were fortunate to have found a life partner with which to share and build memories. Although all things must end hopefully these memories will last. May you be well.

Eventually marrying other people, then in 2008 both having failed marriages we got together and married in 2009. Sadly she passed away in 2016 with a brain tumour.

One will never know for sure, but it does sound as if you were able to find true love and partnership in the time you had together. Very few do. A life lived to the best of ones ability, although imperfect, needs no apology. Be well DL.

That Buffalo called SNOW CAPITAL OF USA because of 1977 Blizzard. I get it we got 19 feet of snow that winter. City & Schools closed 3 weeks. We only got Visitors because Niagara Falls is close.

      Weren't the '70s good years for catchy music? Born 17/12/66, my childhood, teens, 20s & 30s saw me through undiagnosed partial-autism. At least music lets me look on my 1st 10yrs in positive terms.

      I'm listening, this is a heartbreaking song. I lost my dad and sister a year ago 3 months apart, it makes me think of them and cry. They don't make music like they did in the 70s and 80s. I miss you papa and sis

    RIP, Robbie. I will never forget the day I came home from work, you were there, with a note on the coffee table with this song title. I said, "oh! I know this song!" and you said, "you need to listen to it again." and just two months later...you passed away from this life. I miss you so much. Til we meet again--always and forever--your Princess

    When I was younger, I always played this song because it has a lot of meaning to it. I still listen to it because the words and music is so nice. I loved the 70s.

    This song came out right after my dad was killed. I was only three and hardly remember him but i remember this song on the radio and it reminded me of him. Still can't listen to this song without crying. Miss and love you dad 😢

    I was a teenager when this song hit the airwaves when I moved from NYC to a tropical rural Florida where for the first time I ever picked starfish on the beach. Jensen Beach, Florida. always brought a lovely calm despite referencing death and I wish it was playing on airwaves 2024. Greatest Generation.
