When I Get Where I'm Going...

This is another awesome song. I heard this song the night before Aunt Mary passed away and I immediately thought of her. If y'all believe in signs, it seemed like a song she enjoyed. They played it Saturday at the burial service...not a dry eye in the house!

by Brad Paisley & Dolly Parton

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

[Chorus]
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 grand daddy
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

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
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

In Memory of Aunt Mary

Last Sunday, a very beautiful and strong woman, left this earth and was called back home to be with God. For some people reading this, it might make you feel uncomfortable, but these are my beliefs. As much as she will be missed, I know that she is in a better place. She is no longer sick and she will take care of all of us for many years to come. I didn't really know her as much as my husband did, but I know that she was an awesome woman. She proved that to me after my surgery in August of 2004. Even though she was dealing with her own illness, she made a point to call me in the hospital and let me know that she was thinking of me and praying for me. She was willing to listen if I needed to talk about what was going to happen to me, and she knew that I was scared. The phone call didn't last but for more than a few minutes, but it meant the world to me.

For those who know me, you know that music is one of my passions...this song was played at her service and it really fits...plus it's by Faith Hill...one of my music heroes. I found out later that Faith wrote this song for her mother...very appropriate since Aunt Mary has 2 beautiful girls.

When I think back on these times
And the dreams we left behind
I’ll be glad because I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
When I look back on these days
I’ll look and see your face
You were right there for me
In my dreams I’ll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you for all my life
I’ll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you’ll be
And everywhere I am there you'll be



Well you showed me how it feels
To feel the sky within my reach
And I always will remember all
The strength you gave to me
Your love made me make it through
Oh I owe so much to you
You were right there for me
In my dreams I’ll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you for all my life
I’ll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you’ll be

Cuz I always saw in you my light my strength
And I want to thank you now for all the ways
You were right there for me
(You were right there for me)
You were right there for me
For always

In my dreams I’ll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you for all my life
I’ll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you’ll be
And everywhere I am there you'll be
There you'll be
