as the seagull flew by the window...





As i sit here, listening to songs on youtube, sitting by the window, a seagull flew by... and hinder singing, Better Than Me on the background...


I'm in Denmark, home to Lars parents... officially my in laws, now that i am a wife. It seems strange to be saying it, a single woman for the past 35 years and now a wife to someone.


Saying goodbye was never easy for me, hate goodbyes, still do, and saying goodbye to your family you live with, a mother you sleep with, a sister you nag at and argue with, and kids you keep screaming and kissing all at the same time, and not forgetting 2 brothers you always wonder about their common sense.... all these came in flashes when u sit thousand of miles away, while the world go on by, and only then you realise, this is it, you're on your own now missy!


The faces you wish you see one more time, the last hug, the last kisses... and the last step out of home.


Nickelback - Photograph


Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey's head?
This is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
This is where I went to school

Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must've done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I would of let me in
Oh oh ohOh god I, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I have a photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say,It's time to say it
Goodbye, Goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say,It's time to say it
Goodbye, Goodbye

Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since God knows when
Oh oh ohOh god I, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I have a photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say, It's time to say it
Goodbye, Goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say, It's time to say it
Goodbye, Goodbye
I miss that town
I miss their faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it

If I could relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I have a photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say,It's time to say it
Goodbye, Goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say, It's time to say it
Goodbye, Goodbye

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me...

I wish you much courage Da~, be brave and walk the path that is already laid out infront of you. Your family will always be there, this is your time now to build your own family with Lars. All that yearning for home & family back home will ease out in time Da. I wish you tons of luck. Mush
