Ever Since You Went Away

My buddy's mom passed away last Friday. His dad died when he was three. After her funeral yesterday, I listened to this song and imagined her flying back into her husband's arms. Twenty five years have passed since she's seen him and she loves him more now than she ever did before. I hope one day to find someone I can spend my life loving both before and after death. Here's to you AnnEtta Cope Merrill, I never knew you, but you've blessed me a thousand times over with your life, your children and your example.
