Sometimes...

Great news! Our team raised over $2000 for Relay For Life yesterday!

Katie has been on my mind a lot lately. So many reminders of her sweet beautiful face… above is a picture that was taken a couple of months before the cancer came and took control of our lives.

Below is a song that I wrote a couple of years ago; I feel like this today…

Sometimes

Sometimes it hurts so bad I can’t breath
Days and weeks go by
And I won’t cry
But then . . .
I’ll stumble across a photograph
Or a note you wrote to me
And suddenly, I’m taken back
To how it used to be
When you were here

Sometimes it seems just like you weren’t real
Days and weeks go by
It seems to fly
And then . . .
I open a drawer and there you are
It all comes back to me
And suddenly the tears flow
And I fall down to my knees
Wish you were here

Sometimes it takes too long to understand
Days and weeks go by
I can’t deny
So then . . .
I kiss your picture and put it back
And wipe away my tears
And suddenly the peace flows
And it eases all my fears
You are still here

Sometimes I’m still so ravaged by my pain
Days and weeks go by
Can’t explain why
But then . . .
Another voice will call to me
Reminds me I’m alive
And suddenly I believe
That it will be all right
Because I am here

But sometimes it hurts so bad . . .
