I miss my buddy.

I have been thinking a lot about my Uncle Matt lately. I just wanted to share his last blog entry that he wrote on his cancer blog Matt's Spectacular Testacular Cancer Blog entitled "Today's the day", he wrote on january 14th ....

Here am I floating round my tin can, far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do...

Here we go!

I googled the words because I wanted to know where it came from.
It is a part from a David Bowie song. I didn't find
the lyrics too fitting at the time, but they are now.
I apologize in advance if it makes you tear up, I did.

I really miss my uncle matty. 

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you

(spoken)
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
 I'm stepping through the door
 And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
 And the stars look very different today

 For here
 Am I sitting in a tin can
 Far above the world
 Planet Earth is blue
 And there's nothing I can do

 Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
 I'm feeling very still
 And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
 Tell my wife I love her very much she knows"

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

"Here am I floating round my tin can
 Far above the Moon
 Planet Earth is blue
 And there's nothing I can do."
