Thomas William Bush

Leaving, I hate to see you cry

Grieving, I hate to say good-bye

Dust and ash forever, yeah

Though I know we must be parted

As sure as stars are in the sky

I'm gonna see when it comes to glory

And I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side

Yes, I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side."
- Ozzy Osbourne

Memory wall

September 28, 2025

One of my earliest memories of my dad is standing on his feet, mostly his work boots, and dancing with him. He would lift his feet and guide us around. I loved this as a kid and the memory of it stuck with me so much that for a father's day gift I gave him a frame with a photo of me at 4 years old and him at a similar age, with a poem I wrote in the middle. His love of music was strong all the way until his last days and I will always hold these memories close to me when I think of him or hear his favorite songs. I love you dad.
