Heartache and Pain

[ryuhi2]

I don't know if I can even find the words to say what I truly feel, although, It is time for me to try.

I Miss You...

When I was 13, My life was surely changed forever. That is the exact age in which I discovered Ronnie james Dio. That is when I was in the record store with my older brother, and asked him what he was looking for. His reply...."the new Dio album"......my reply....."who?".

I Miss You....

Later that year, My brother took me to my first "Metal" concert. Dokken opening for the GREAT Dio. I was amazed, blown away.....and forever changed. I walked out with my voice lost....my ears ringing....and my soul captured. I would never again be the same, Nor would I get anouther haircut for the next 5 years.

I Miss You....

Ronnie,
You became a part of me, A part of who I was. In my teenage years, You taught me to follow my dreams, To be myself, that I could do anything I had my heart set on. In my teenage years, You saved my life........when I felt like I didn't want life anymore.

I Miss You....

You have been here in my best times, and my worst times. You have been with me when I laughed, and you have been with me when I cried. You were with me when my Daughter left this world and moved on to the next....

I Miss You....

I am in tears as I write this to you, I feel lost again. The world has changed since May 16th 2010....my life has changed again. I have my wife at my side, and I have my friends and family.....yet I am feeling emptyness.

I Miss you.....

I know these words do not even come close to what I am actualy feeling, But I hope you know...
That I love you, I appreciate you, and I cherish the memmories of every album you have created, and every show you have put on for me. There will never be another like you, you are one of a kind. I know you are at peace, and in a much better place. I know that wherever you are, your singing a beautiful song and smiling at every one of us...

I Miss You....

I will be at the service on the 30th, and I believe you will be there with us. I will sing your songs in my heart, see your face in my mind, and cry my tears in your honor....

I Miss You.....I Love You....I Cherish you....

When I make my journey over the Rainbow, I will be there with you, and my soul will be whole again.....

I salute you \m/

Thank you so much Ronnie,
Robert Nagel
