and never have i known anything so hard to understand
This is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you, but ...
We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
(There's a place by God's grace)
There's a place where we'll see your face again
We'll see your face again
And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile and say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now you're home
And now you're free
I guess we just didn't think it was possible. I guess I just didin't want to think it was possible. I guess it just never seemed possible. People talk about it, and joke about it, and say that we should be prepared for it, but nobody ever thinks its going to happen like this. Without reason, without cause. I sort of let it sink in throughout the day that it was over. I felt sick. I thought I could deal with it but not yet. I wanted you to wake up and talk to me one more time, just one more minute before you go. But we didn't get that. Its not going to be the same without you. Not for anybody, not for your family, not for your coworkers, and not for us. I don't get it. May God rest your soul. We love you. And we will all miss you more than you could imagine. I love you. RIP Mr. Hankins.
