Time...

Time is a funny thing. It doesn't change pace. It can tick by at a snails pace and race by in the blink of an eye.

One things for certain, once it's gone, you can't get it back. So many times I want more time. More time in the day, more time for me, more time for the weekend, more time in the shower! LOL

One thing I really wish I had now was more time with my Grandma...alive. I wish she were here to really show me all of the ins and outs of this sewing machine that she used so effortlessly. I wish she was here to guide me. I miss her a lot. But now seeing this machine that she used for so many years sitting in my home I miss her even more.

So here is the song we played at her service in Roman's barn after we spread her ashes. The sames song that we played just a short time later at Little Roman's funeral. A song I hope to live by someday so that I can be reunited with these loved ones that have left the earth already.


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

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.

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.

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.


Gone, but never forgotten.
