I know this thread is just depressing as hell..... it means so much to me that you all keep coming back to offer me your support and love
Sharing in the happy times is such a blessing, but sharing in each others pain, that is a gift. One I treasure deeply. Thank you all, from the deepest part of my heart for being here for me
Lynn and I have always loved Collin Raye. He always sang two songs to me...
If you get there before I do and In this life (I was loved by you)
After Lynn was diagnosed, I heard a song about dementia... it hit me hard. It was sung by Collin Raye, so fitting. It is a sad song, but it gives me hope too. I pray for the time when - Lynn's gonna fly.....

She's gonna fly
This is the woman
Who had all the answers
The one I would lean on
For comfort, for strength
She's never forgotten
One grandchild's birthday
Now she can't remember my name
And it makes me so angry
I shake my fist
And cry out to the heavenly one
Why would you play
Such a cold hearted trick
I thought your job was to love
And the answer came down from above
She's gonna fly
When her time here is through
First she'll have to let go
Of some things she can't use
'Cause people and places
Memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems
To carry on angel's wings
This is the woman
Who saw things so clearly
The one who could pick out
One crumb on the floor
She saw through a white lie
Saw me through love's eyes
She hardly can see anymore
And it makes me so sad
And it just isn't fair
Why should so much be taken away
But when I cry out
For all that she's lost
I silently hear someone say
She's gonna fly
When her time here is through
First she'll have to let go
Of some things she can't use
'Cause people and places
Memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems
To carry on angel's wings
And oh, the wonders she'll see
And I know she'll remember
To watch over me
She's gonna fly
When her time here is through
First she'll have to let go
Of some things she can't use
'Cause people and places
Memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems
To carry on angel's wings
