"Dont realise what you got till it's gone"

I came home from school today and my next door neighbour came round and told us that Dennis the guy who lives about 4 doors down from me was taken to hospital Sunday night by my neighbour because he was having sharp pains going down his side.
But on the way to the hospital Dennis sadly died in the car.

I have known him since I have lived here, so about 11-12 years, I speak to him pretty much every morning before and after school, he used to ask me how I was doing ect.
He wasn't a young man, he must have been about 60-65 and he has a dog called Pip, Pip was picked up on Monday morning in a RSPCA van, we just though it was because he didn't want it any more.

I’ve seen him go through so many things, like when his first dog died, then he got a new one and that died last year and now he has this one.
And when his wife passed away about 2 years ago, all these occasions we used to talk about.

When my brother got home from school he used to come out and say "Hi" and ask how he was and what he had been up to in school.

But the thing that hurts the most is that on Friday when I got home from school I saw him outside my house, but it was cold and rainy and I just wanted to get in, so I thought if I make out that I am running I wont have to speak to him, so I ran to my house and went straight in.
The last time ever I saw him I couldn't be bothered to talk to him, if I had know I would have stopped and talked to him like usual.
I’m now kicking myself for that.

Basically don't take people for grantage (sp!?) because they may be there one minuet but gone the next.

You may think what the hell is the point in me posting this; well I just wanted to type what I think.

Ill miss you Dennis :)

R.I.P. Dennis.

I like friendly old people. They could teach the bitter ones a thing or two.

That song is awesome.

But for once I actually feel sorry for you.

It's strange how people who seem so insignificant in your life can make you feel so bad, isn't it?

I actually feel bad sitting right here, because I know that i do stuff like that myself...

I think he is the only old person that i know, eccept from my nan, but i don't like her and have not visited her in about 3 years.

Hope his dog gets a good home, he loved it very much, walked it twice a day.

Hmm wonder what will happen to his house, hope some old bitter person does not move in there.

I like them dont worry.

Listen to Mrs Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel

Will cheer you up and make you like old people.

Yea there are a few old bitter people, like his wife, when she died none of us really gave a t0ss, she used to yell at us for playing in the snow and running accross the road.
Poor old had.

Poor old chap, I can tell he will be missed.

I like old people like him - they make you think "I hope I'm like that when I am old" - however most old people (around me at least) are all bitter and hate the young people.
