Missing You by Rachel hearts Sitting here pining away For you my dear Until the last breath I take I will wait here With you so far How I wish you were near Holding my breath as I ponder Realizing with you I never had to wonder Who, what, where, or why Could we give our love another try?

READing in Colwood ~ Our satellite office in Colwood opened its doors on October 4th. We are located in the West Shore Child, Youth and Family Services building at 345 Wale Road.
