On Monday, February 25, 2008, my husband left Nashville TN to fly north on a business trip. He would be gone 5 days. He called from Atlanta on a short layover and plane change. He was in good spirits, asked me to call and confirm his car rental and to make sure someone would still be at the rental booth (he was arriving late). He then called when he landed to let me know he had arrived safely but again asked me to call the car rental company to let them know he was in the airport. I did as he asked but there was no answer this time. I assumed they were busy and did not think any more about it since I had already confirmed the information earlier in the day. The next time my phone rang, I expected to hear my husband's voice - but instead heard the sound of an unfamiliar male voice tell me that my husband had suffered a fatal massive heart attack. I sat alone in our bedroom, in shock at what I had just heard. My life as I knew it had just changed forever. This song is one he and I had heard years before his death but I just thought about it again today. Oh, how I wish we could be together again - the way it was but that is not an option. The words to this song are so very clear to me that those who leave this life before us will always remain in our hearts and memory forever. Regardless of what the writers intentions were when writing these lyrics, the words will speak volumes to those who hear it with their heart. |
