Rest in Peace ~

Rest in Peace

Aron Wright 

No, not here

You're not anymore

In our hearts

You will live on

Where there's no more sorrow

And no more pain

No more storm clouds

No more rain

Your work is done

You've been set free

So rest in peace

Rest in peace

It's so hard to understand

How to let go

Of your hand

To let you fly with

New found wings

To that land where

Angels sing

Your work is done

You've been set free

So rest in peace

Rest in peace

Your work is done

You've been set free

So rest in peace

Rest in peace 

Rest in peace

Humble and Kind ~

Humble and Kind 

"You know there's a light that glows by the front door

Don't forget the key's under the mat

When childhood stars shine,

Always be humble and kind

Go to church 'cause your mamma says to

visit grandpa every chance that you can

It won't be wasted time

Always be humble and kind

Hold the door, say, "please" say, "thank you"

Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie

I know you got mountains to climb

But always stay humble and kind

When the dreams you're dreamin' come to you

When the work you put in is realized

Let yourself feel the pride 

But always stay humble and kind

Don't expect a free ride from no one 

Don't hold a grudge or a chip and here's why:

Bitterness keeps you from flyin'

Always stay humble and kind

Know the difference between sleeping with someone 

And sleeping with someone you love

"I love you" ain't no pick-up line

So always stay humble and kind

Hold the door, say, "please" say, "thank you"

Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie

I know you got mountains to climb

But always stay humble and kind

When those dreams you're dreamin' come to you

When the work you put in is realized

Let yourself feel the pride

But always stay humble and kind

When it's hot, eat a root beer popsicle

Shut off the AC and roll the windows down

Let the summer sun shine

Always stay humble and kind

Don't take for granted the love this life gives you

When you get where you're going don't forget turn back around

And help the next one in line

Always stay humble and kind"

Powerful and wise words ~

Losing Memories to Alzheimer's ~

“I’ve been thinking a lot about memory, how much it defines us. How much of our character is built from it . . . our personalities, our loyalties, our souls, their response to what came before. We’re the sum total of the connections we’ve made, and the people we’ve lost. Memories are the building blocks of our identity, without them, who we are would be lost to us.”

Landslide ~

I took my love, I took it down

Climbed a mountain and I turned around

And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills

'Til the landslide brought it down

Oh, mirror in the sky

What is love?

Can the child within my heart rise above?

Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?

Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Well, I've been afraid of changin'

'Cause I've built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Even children get older

And I'm getting older too

And I'm getting older too

Oh, take my love, take it down

Climb a mountain and turn around

And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills

Well the landslide will bring it down

And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills

Well the landslide will bring it down

The landslide will bring it down

I have always loved Stevie Nicks and this has always been my favorite song by her.

The Business of Life ~

"The business of life is the acquisition of memories. 

   In the end, that's all there is."

~ Mr. Carson
Downton Abbey 

Always with you . . . Happy Mother's Day ~

Always with you . . . . 

Your Mother is always with you.

She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the

street, she's the smell of certain foods you remember, 

flowers you pick and perfume that she wore, she's the

cool hand on your brow when your not feeling well,

she's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day.

She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep . . . 

the colors of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning.

Your Mother lives inside your laughter.

And she's crystallized in every teardrop.

A mother shows every emotion . . . happiness,

sadness, fear, jealousy, love, hate, anger, 

helplessness, excitement, joy, sorrow . . . and all the

while, hoping and praying you will only know the good

feelings of life. 

She's the place you come from, your first home, and

she's the map you follow with every step you take.

She's your first love, your first friend, even your

first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you.
