I Sure Miss You!

If life could only bring again, the days I took for granted when
To hear your voice was just a call away
Oh what I 'd give for just some time to say the things that slipped my mind
There's so much now I 'd really like to say
But I can never go back when we did the things we did back then
I'll store those precious memories in my mind
I'll take what you've instilled in me;I'll try to be all that I can be
And walk the path that you have left behind.

Chorus: I sure miss you; life will never be the same with you not here
Each passing day has brought much pain
But with God's grace my strength remainsI sure miss you, but heaven's sweeter with you there

The little things that seemed so small
are now gold in a memory vaultI cherish every one I have of you
Now I can see and recognize the part you played to shape my life
I often see you in the things I do
In God's design and master plan
He saw the hurting hearts of manAs we would say goodbye to those so dear
So with our family and friends we'll be together once again
We'll view all heaven's splendor hand in hand

Holidays are always a lot of fun for kids! My kids love it for sure. I even remember a 100 years ago when I believed in Santa! lol I always tried so hard to catch him ( even though we didnt have a chimney) I thought he made one to come down in every house. I enjoy seeing the excitement that my kids have around the holidays. I also love seeing other people with happiness in their eyes too. For me , feels a little different . Don't get me wrong .... I 'm so thankful every day for the people in my life, and my family who are around! I just miss so many people that I love! The holidays will never feel complete again until heaven . I just wanted to take a few minutes to remember them all this holiday season. Remember to hug and tell those you love .. how much you love them everyday! We aren't promised tomorrow! If we could send hugs and kisses to the people we love in heaven my list would be as follows: Dustin , Papaw Foy, Papaw Lyman and Mamaw Bessie , Dot , Ellie,Nellie,Franklin and Hubert( all my great aunt and uncles),Allen , Dorothy , Nikki, Ray, Jackie and so many more. Heaven has been filled with so many of those I love so much ! This song by the Crabb Family means so much to me. It brings both tears and smiles. The memories we make with those we love are priceless!
