So I got thinking of the many people who I have lost along this journey in life and are no longer with us in this race. I miss all the wonderful memories that I have made with all of the beautiful souls that I had the chance to be friends with and I am feeling a little sad about all the loved ones.
So, what I am going to do in the following part of this particular blog is mention the names of the lost ones along with some lyrics to a song which relates to how I am feeling along with the youtube video to the lyrics.
To all the friends that I have lost along the way: Grampy Gerry Amero, Great Grampy Alfred Vail, Great Grammy Greta Vail, Grampy Ernest, Alicia Little, Jimmy Sheehan, Randy Trott Sr, Al Cannon, Conrad Sommers & Donnie Perry.
I miss you all so much! This following song with lyrics is for you all.
One Sweet Day Lyrics: (Please Read these lyrics, they are so touching)
Sorry, I've never told you, all I wanted to sayAnd now it's too late to hold you'Cause you've flown awaySo far away
Never had I imaginedLiving without your smileFeelin' and knowing you, hear meIt keeps me alive, alive
And I know you're shining down on me from HeavenLike so many friends we've lost along the wayAnd I know eventually we'll be togetherOne sweet dayEventually I'll see you in Heaven
Darling, I never showed youAssumed you'd always be thereI, I took your presence for grantedBut I always caredAnd I miss the love we shared
I know you're shining down on me from HeavenLike so many friends we've lost along the wayAnd I know eventually we'll be togetherOne sweet dayPicture a little scene from Heaven
Although, the sun will never shine the sameI'll always look to a brighter dayYeah, Lord, I know, when I lay me down to sleepYou will always listen as I pray
And I know you're shining down on me from heavenLike so many friends we've lost along the wayAnd I know eventually we'll be togetherOne sweet day
And I know you're shining down on me from HeavenLike so many friends we've lost along the wayAnd I know eventually we'll be togetherOne sweet day
Sorry, I never told youAll I wanted to say

Loss
Today is a sad day for me. I have been made aware through a facebook message sent to my husbands account, that a very dear old lady from my church down home has just passed away. She was so very dear to me and I loved her like she was my own grandmother. I feel like crying right now, because knowing that when I go home for my vacation and visit church, she will not be sitting in the pew behind us, passing me some halls, or candy of some sort. Or a toy for my little Aaliyah.
I really enjoyed having her sitting behind me, she had such a sweet way of singing the church hymns.
I just wish I was living down home right now, I unfortunately don't have the funds to fly out for her funeral, I wish I could, because I'd be on the first flight to Saint John in a heart beat. We are saving up for our vacation home and even the funds for that wouldn't be enough for me to fly there and back.
Erma poor Erma, she had such a bad hacking cough. She had bronchitis very badly and to top it off some form of lung cancer. Although, that is not what took her, she had a clean bill of healthy after receiving treatments and such. It was her bronchitis keeping her from being able to breath which caused her death.
I am thankful for one thing though, I decided to call her approximately a week before Christmas and we had a nice little chat. I was up early so I could make sure I was calling her at a good time. She seemed fine then on the phone, but she was also on a breathing machine I do believe she was telling me that day. Poor old soul, I should of clued in that her timing was coming to an end not much longer after Christmas.
I guess I am happy that she is finally done suffering from her bronchitis, but I will truly miss seeing her in church and being surrounded in her presence. I just wish there was a way for me to go home for this funeral. I guess the best I can is send my condolences out to the family. I plan on calling her house tomorrow to talk to Richard (her husband) to let him know that I am thinking about him and the whole family.
Well I am going to stop for now, my eyes are welling up with tears and the screen is not clear anymore for me to keep on typing.
