Holes in the floor of Heaven...

Sometimes there are words to songs that can explain how I am feeling much better than I can, and I want to copy down those lyrics so that you can learn from them.  One of those songs is "Holes in the Floor Of Heaven."  This one would be for all three of you, Chip, Shelby & Cole - please know that no matter what happens or how my life plays out that I love you all more than life itself.

One day shy of 8 years old, grandpa passed away. 
I was a broken hearted little boy, blowing out that birthday cake.
How I cried when the sky let go, with a cold & lonesome rain...
Mama smiled and said don't be sad child, grandma's watching you today.
Cause there's holes in the floor of heaven, and her tears are pouring down.
That's how you know she's watching, wishing she could be here now.
And sometimes if you're lonely, just remember she can see,
There's holes in the floor of heaven and she's watching over you and me.
Seasons come and seasons go, nothing stays the same,
I grew up, fell in love, met a girl who took my name.
Year by year, we made a lif in this sleepy little town.
I thought we'd grow old together, Lord I sure do miss her now.
But there's holes in the floor of heaven & her tears are pouring down,
That's how I know she's watching, wishing she could be here now.
And sometimes when I'm lonely, remember she can see,
There's holes in the floor of heaven and she's watching over you and me.
Well my little girl is 23, I walk her down the aisle.
It's a shame her mom can't be here now, to see her lovely smile.
They throw the rice, I catch her eye as the rain starts coming down. 
She takes my hand and says Daddy don't be sad, cause I know Mama's watching now.

I do want to make a couple of comments about this song.  It is a beautiful song, and no matter what I may miss in your lives whether it be proms, graduations, weddings and even births, I WILL BE WATCHING  you from heaven.  If there are any tears I am able to shed, it would only be tears of JOY because I love you and am proud of you.  Remember this is not our permanent home, so if I make it there first, I will only be wishing that you are THERE IN HEAVEN with me.
