a song for our fathers

This song makes me think of my father. I hope it inspires a few cousins and friends (Diana, Mabel, Edmond & Thomas, Jason, Carrie, Crystal, Shirley) who have also lost their fathers. They're with us everyday. They really are. If you're stuck, ask your father what he would have you do, the answer is there. They're really not too far away, real or imagined. Take care!

To Where You Are - sang by Josh Groban
Who's to say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memory's so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be (?)
That you are my
Forever love
And you are watching over 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
