SISSY'S SONG

Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

Loved ones she left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
They'll always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me

God Only Cries

On a long road one day
A young mom loses her life
They marked the shoulder with a cross
An' her family gathers round
On a piece of Hallowed ground
Their hearts are heavy with their loss
As the tears fall from their eyes
There's one who'll always sympathise.

God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
An' all the angels up in Heaven
They're not grieving because they're gone
There's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than they've ever known
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are so far from home.

God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
And all the angels up in Heaven
They're not grieving because they're gone
There's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than, oh, they've ever known
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are so far from home
Yeah, we're so far from home, Mmmm, Mmmm

Angela's accident 10/19/2010

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." Proverbs 3:5

Against our will and desires, our Heavenly Father chose to enfold Angela and baby Wylie into eternity . . . according to His plan and timetable . . . not ours.

In Gethsemane, Jesus said, "Oh my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done".

Having faith we believe Angela’s accident was our Heavenly Father's will.

(2Nephi 2:24). "All things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things".

With that said, losing Angela in our life here on Earth has been painful! The pain I feel is from my broken heart. I miss her!

I know time will help soften the pain . . . but time is passing so slowly!

I am not alone in my sorrow.

I know we are not the only family who has ever lost loved ones and that is comforting to be surrounded in their love, for they too know of that pain.
We have been blessed and comforted with the many cards,

family & friends concerns, and peace from the Holy Ghost.

I've have always loved the scripture: D&C 84:88
"I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up."

And

D&C 101:14 "All they who have mourned shall be comforted".

Pondering these scriptures now means so much more to ME and I hold them close to my broken heart.

This Blog idea came because of a challenge from my friend Gail to write everything down. Which, I have resisted since the accident, because I'm not good at writing my thoughts & feelings but I'm doing it anyway. . . to honor Angela's life and our relationship. I am a better person because of her. . . . that's another story for another day. For now, I have mostly posted photo’s and will add more thoughts soon, I hope.
