: Boy, that's a lot of loss. Sorry to hear it all. Have lost a ton of folks myself to suicide, to hideous and heartbreaking circumstance and the ever popular world of disease.  We're all headed towards the exit, and to lose so many of the people we need to make that walk meaningful, enjoyable, downright fulfilling makes it much tougher. ....

"Pilgrim"

I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
This ain't never been my home
Sometimes the road was rocky �long the way, boys
But I was never travelin' alone
We'll meet again on some bright highway
Songs to sing and tales to tell
But I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you fare thee well
Ain't no need to cry for me, boys
Somewhere down the road you'll understand
�Cause I expect to touch his hand, boys
Put a word in for you if I can
