Friday, November 07, 2003 When my grandfather (who I called Papo) died, I heard Linda Ronstadt sing this on the radio...I thought it was appropriate then and do in this case as well. Oh we never know where life will take us I know it's just a ride on the wheel And we never know when death will shake us And we wonder how it will feel So goodbye my friend I know I'll never see you again But the time together through all the years Will take away these tears It's okay now Goodbye my friend I've seen a lot things that make me crazy And I guess I held on to you We could've run away and left well maybe But it wasn't time and we both knew So goodbye my friend I know I'll never see you again But the love you gave me through all the years Will take away these tears I'm okay now Goodbye my friend Life's so fragile and love's so pure We can't hold on but we try We watch how quickly it disappears And we never know why But I'm okay now Goodbye my friend You can go now Goodbye my friend -written by Karla Bonoff © 1988 Seagrape Music (BMI) I don't know my thoughts on the afterlife other than the conventional idea of heaven. When I thought of the above lyrics, it reminded me how I always wanted to hear them after Papo died. Then I thought that if there is a heaven, that when Cookie got there, I wouldn't want her to be with anybody else other than Papo & Mamo. It made me feel good knowing that Papo could finally meet Cookie and that she would keep my grandparents company and they could take care of each other. posted by lisa | linkorama | |
