I know you're there

I have never been sadder than I have the past six months or so. I always thought Gran would be around to see me get married... to see my kids... to see them grow. I am angry she was robbed of years of her life. I am sad she is not here, and selfishly wish that I could've kept her here longer.

I had to sing this at her funeral, along with Josh, Aunt Cindy, and my cousin Josh. It's been a month since she passed and I still cry when I hear the song, and I try to believe that it's lyrics are true. I really want to believe she is here watching over me, or at the very least... that I can somehow make her amazing spirit live on.

TO WHERE YOU ARE - Josh Groban

Who can say for certain? Maybe you're still here.
Deep in the stillness, I can hear you speak. You're still and inspiration, can it be...

That you are my forever love, watching me from up above?
Fly me up to where you are beyond the distant star...
I wish upon tonight to see you smile,
if only for awhile to know you're there...
a breath away's not far to where you are

Are you gently sleeping here inside my dream?
And isn't faith believing all power can't be seen?
As my heart holds you... just one beat away,
I cherish all you gave me everyday.

'Cause you are my forever love watching me from up above
and I believe that angels breathe, and that LOVE WILL LIVE ON AND NEVER LEAVE

Fly me up to where you are beyond the distant star.... I wish upon tonight to see you smile,
if only for awhile to know you're there... a breath away's not far to where you are

I know you're there... a breath away's not far to where you are.

It still does not feel real that you are gone. I need you still! I hate that I can't just pick up the phone and call you whenever I want, and I wish that I'd have spent more time with you when you were here. I hope so badly that I'm making you proud! You were my inspiration for how a lady should act, yet you had the innocence and wonder of a small girl. You embodied the word grace.
I love and miss you Gran. You made me a better human being, and continue to influence me to this day.
Wipe, wash, and flush. ;)

Just help me start to know how to get over this pain.
