"In the midst of sailing ships, we sink our lips into the ones we love that have to say goodbye.  And as I float along this ocean, I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go.  And when I look to the sky, something tells me you're here with me.  And you make everything alright.  And when I feel like I'm lost, something tells me you're here with me, and I can always find my way when you are here.

And every word I didn't say, caught up in some busy day, and every dance on the kitchen floor I didn't have before...and every sunset that we'll miss, I'll wrap them all up in a kiss and pick you up in all of this when I float away."

"So what would you think of me now, so lucky, so strong, so proud - I never said thank you for that..."

In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing. ~ Robert Ingersoll

How my children remember their grandfather

A note sent to my mother

I wanted to tell you a story Emily told me. She said, "Sarah and I were walking the other day and we were talking about how Grandpa Mike and Grandpa Radford communicate with us. Sarah said that she talks to them through the wind and the trees. I told her that they communicate through music with me." So I asked Emily to give me an example and she said; "One time I was really sad and trying not to cry. I felt like nobody understood me and then suddenly the song Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls came on and I knew it was them telling me they saw me and understood me and that it was ok."

Listen to the first part It's very fitting for what she's talking about.

Love you

Grandchildren, great-grandchildren...oh my!

Best Friends for life

"There's a special kind of freedom sisters enjoy. Freedom to share innermost thoughts, to ask a favor, to show their true feelings. The freedom to simply be themselves." Author Unknown

This is my mom and dad.  This is how I remember them.  Their love could have been a movie.  Their love was a forever love.  And though she's still here on earth and he's in heaven, their love is still so thick that you can feel it, and he looks after her..waiting for her to join him.
