Songs of Remembrance and Grief
Comments (45)Great song choices. I played He Stopped Loving Her Today at my son's funeral. It was the first thing he said/sang when he started talking again at age 3. He has always loved George Jones. Leader of the Band is one of my favorite songs of all time. A song that my son loved was by one of his favorite bands Due West...So Long My Friend. He wanted it played at my sister's memorial but they couldn't do it live because they were touring. We played that song at his funeral as well, at the request of the lead singer of the band. It was written by Brad Hull of Due West. So Long My Friend - Brad Hull (B. Hull) Copyright 2006 Even though I don't want to accept it There comes a time when everyone moves on I know you can't stay here forever And still I never thought this day would come So long my friend I'll see you again But until then So long my friend You know that you kept so many waiting For you to make it to the other side They welcome you with arms wide open While I can't find the words to say goodbye These words I wish that I could tell you Are going to take some getting used to. I Wish You Were Here - Chelsea Musick (C. Musick, N. Peaytt, A. Hacket) Copyright 2007 I took your picture off the wall And put it by the bed Helps on those sleepless nights When I could use a friend When I look in the mirror I see your face But it's so hard to be mad When there's no one here to blame And I never thought I'd have to let you go Never thought I'd say goodbye I never thought I'd see The day my daddy cried I guess I better go Just wanted to say hello And I miss you more with every tear Signed, "I wish you were here" I know that you love me I still feel it in my heart Sometimes it's like you're here But we're so far apart I have so many questions I just want to understand If God can take you from us Why can't he bring you back You were the one who helped me through the day The one who wiped my tears away Now what am I supposed to do No one talked to me like you...See MoreMy blue backsplash sneak peek...marcolo this one's for you ;)
Comments (40)CML, did you get the backsplash from Tree's place? Our house build won't start until Spring, we've had some bumps in the road but now we're back on track. And like you, When June came I cemented my feet in at the beach and refused to think about anything to do with house projects! Your place is looking great, I can't wait to see the finished kitchen and I adore that Sea Urchin light!!...See Moregood grief what next....
Comments (6)no Diane, its not the good luck junk mail that did this, it was the driver that didn't look both ways. I drive country roads every day, I know the crazy things that happen on blind curves and tops of hills. I'm so glad your dh is ok. You must be very worried about him....See MoreSneaking up on peak bloom
Comments (14)Wow, Flying Trapeze is fantastic! I'm a real fan of the hot colors and that one pushes all my color buttons. All your seedlings are wonderful, too. I especially like Belle of Ashwood X Belle Cook. I notice you use Belle of Ashwood for both so I looked it up - oh, my. I must have it. It certainly throws some lovely offspring and is gorgeous in its own right....See MoreNothing Left to Say
