Wendy, Thank you. I find that it expresses the words that I would say to my mom and dad.

Marty, I posted this on the Web Page that you requested. I hope that I did it correctly. Thank you for allowing me to share it.

I find this one that expresses how I feel. I put together a slide presentation for my mom using this song. Titled " I Sure Miss You". I hope that I attached this correctly.

I really really do. My mom passed away August 25th 2008. Then my cousin (we come from a very close extended family) who had a brain tumor became very ill but was able to talk with us. Before he died in November 2008 he said that "Aunt Jean" came to visit and sat on his bedside and told him how wonderful everything is on the other side. His mother had died about 10 years ago visited too, but he said that my mom, Aunt Jean. Visited often telling him not to be afraid and that everything would be ok. When I was told that all doubt left.

I completely understand about the house. I lost my father about 12 years ago, and lost my mother last August. The house was purchased by my mother and father 54 years ago. My brothers and I grew up in that house. We gave away most of the furniture and what family members didn't want or need went to GoodWill. When I walk into that house with its empty walls where pictures of all the grandchildren and great grandchildren once hung it seems like an empty shell. So many memories... There is the doorway that leads to the basement where my mother marked my son's height every year. The marks are still there. There is the attic where all the grandkids and great grandkids played at Christmas and Thansgiving. The porch where I would sit in the morning sipping my coffee and listening to the birds chirp. I can't go in there anymore. The pain is too great. Its funny but no matter where I lived even raised my own family, that house was always home. Now I feel not only a loss of both my parents but a loss of my home as well. If that makes any sense.
