Our Mom

[Mollysmom]

Feb 4, 2006 is the day our Mom died ... It was horrible to lose her & I miss her everyday (damn cancer !!!)
We had this song in her memorial bulletin (don't know what those things are called) The lyrics are awesome so I thought I'd share them with you all





Artist: Paisley Brad
Song: When I Get Where I'm Going
(Feat. Dolly Parton)

"When I get where I'm going
on the far side of the sky.
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly.

I'm gonna land beside a lion,
and run my fingers through his mane.
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

(Chorus:)
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.

I'm gonna walk with my grandaddy,
and he'll match me step for step,
and I'll tell him how I missed him,
every minute since he left.
Then I'll hug his neck.

(Chorus)

So much pain and so much darkness,
in this world we stumble through.
All these questions, I can't answer,
so much work to do.

But when I get where I'm going,
and I see my Maker's face.
I'll stand forever in the light,
of His amazing grace.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Oh, when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
Hallelujah!
I will love and have no fear.
When I get where I'm going.
Yeah when I get where I'm going."

I know our Mom is so happy and free - she's sitting in the sun with her Mother & brothers, smiling and laughing.
Be sure to hug the people you love, they're gone too soon.
Thanks for listening.

Big Hug flying your way on Angel Wings Trudy. Anniversaries are so hard. Got one this month and one next month, sure not looking forward to them.

Trudy, I'm sharing this day with you of memories and missing my Mom. Today would have been her birthday, which really makes me miss her more.

So Not to intrude on your day or your thread, but maybe knowing someone else, knows exactly how you are feeling today, will help you. I love that song,
that Brad Paisley sings. Thanks for writing it out.

Do something nice for yourself today and know that that would make her very happy too,

Thanks for sharing this with us. Moms are special and I miss mine, too.

[Colliemom]

[[[hugs]]]]] to you too Trudy. I know how you feel. Mom's are indeed special. Lost mine to that dreaded cancer too in 1995. Miss her all the time, but know life has to go on and someday I will be "where I am going" too. I hope.

((((((((hugs))))))) to all of you. I am sitting here sniffling and blowing my nose...I can't imagine how it must feel each year. But I do know I'm gonna call my mom right now and tell her I love her. May you all have a sign that an angel (who was once your mom) is looking down on you and smiling!
