Through the back window of a '59 wagon
I watched my best friends Ceph & Yoska slippin' further away
I kept on waving 'till I couldn't see her
And through my tears, I asked again why we couldn't stay
Daddy whispered softly, Time will ease your pain
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

And he said, How can I help you to say goodbye?
It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry
Come, let me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye?

I sat on our bed, he packed his suitcase
I held a picture of our wedding day
His hands were trembling, we both were crying
He kissed me gently and then he quickly walked away
I called up Daddy, he said, Time will ease your pain
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

And he said, How can I help you to say goodbye?
It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry
Come, let me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye?

Sitting with Daddy alone in his bedroom
He opened his eyes, and then squeezed my hand
He said, I have to go now, my time here is over
And with his final word, he tried to help me understand
Daddy whispered softly, Time will ease your pain
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

And he said, How can I help you to say goodbye?
It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry
Come, let me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye?

How can I help you to say goodbye?

For Red. Kai is her daddy's fursona. He's dying slowly and she takes care of him now. Poor girl's bipolar and this don't help her none. She's been through so much heart ache already. The first guy she loved, she married and caught him cheating. Any girlfriends she had...for them it was just harmless fun. The two guys she loves now, they can't be together. (The three of them, long story...but love is odd sometimes.) The guy's families were going to alienate them if they couldn't choose between being gay or straight.
:/
Why can't people be bisexual? It's not very fair to have to choose between the two people you love most...

Anyway, she decided to make them stay together and chose to be alone herself. She knew that way, they had eachother for support. Now Kai is dying on her. Poor Red, felt like her daddy would live forever. Always a strong man, who worked hard all his life. Now he's broken, suffering and still hanging on. We all know that it's because he's afraid to leave Red all alone.

I want to tell them both not to worry, Ceph and I are here for her. We might not all live in the same state or city any longer, but they're still my very best friends and I love them to death!

Kai here is wearing an oxygen hose, the man behind the furry can't breathe without one.
