Today is dedicated to love, change and gratitude.
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
Three years ago today, my Dad was released from his cancer ridden body and the loss has been weighing heavy on my mind all month.
I write about it all the time, but life is short. It is so very short and we don’t have time to waste it fighting, hurting each other and giving into things that destroy us or other people.
If you have messed up or are currently messing up your life…CHANGE before it is too late!
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
There’ll be only happy tears
I’m extremely grateful that I was able to spend so many hours talking to Dad as I drove home each day from work. That time we spent together mended the fences and left a huge garden of beautiful memories for me.
Thank you, Dad, for that priceless gift. I miss you.
You will have forever and so be of good cheer and do the best you can and live every moment with joy and love in your heart. You are a very special girl and your mama loves you with all her heart
Thanks Mom. I love you too.
Love the line, “There’ll be only happy tears”. For me there will only be happy years ahead, and no tears.
🙂 I wish you lots and lots of happy years! 🙂
I am thinking of you today and I know if your father was still here he would wish only the best for you that life has to offer. Yes, life is short, but your life through your writing and sharing has had an impact on more people than you will ever know. Glad you have such beautiful memories of your father. {{{Hugs}}} 🙂
Thank you, Joan. {{{hugsss}}}
