  1. First post on The Rush Forum. Yes, I still hurt each time I remember Neil is gone. Partly it is the punctuation mark on Rush, partly it is immense sadness for a human that faced so much heartache in his own life. I know some of it is personal grief coming from my own experience of my mother dying just as she was about to retire and focus her life on her grandchildren. It seemed so unfair to watch someone work so hard and go through so much misery getting to her 60s and then die (of brain cancer, the same kind as Neil) just as she was about to retire to a nice family life. So I still get somber when I think of the beautiful person that was Neil and how hard he worked to reach a point where he could just rest and spend time with his wife and child, but it was not to be. As others have noted, he wrote The Garden and understood this as well as anyone.
