Memories and Condolences
for Nicholas Hendee

Not sure what to say?





Carrie Staben

January 8, 2005

For the wonderful years we shared together. No one will ever know how you touched my heart, or what could of been. I will love you forever.



This yearning in my heart

This confusion in my mind

The words left unspoken

Haunts me all the time



Everyday I watch pass by

With an emptiness in my life

And a hole in my heart

Where only you belong



There are nights I wake up crying

And wishing you were here

To hold me in your arms

And kiss away my tears



There is something that keeps me holding on -

What I'll never know

But one day things will go my way

And I'll have you in my arms

In the hearts of those who loved you, you will always be there.



There's this little poem that always reminded me of Nick:



As I was sitting in my chair,

I noticed the bottom wasn't there,

Nor legs, nor back,

But I just sat,

Ignoring little things like that!



Nick was a gentle soul, my memories of him will be sweet. I love you NicK! (between you me and the lamp post, you are my twin)
