A Final Farewell

I started this a week ago yesterday but it has been hard to complete, almost as if completing this would mean I would have to let go of him and for that I am not quite ready. This is my final farewell to a great man, a man that I was lucky enough to call my Dad. He is my inspiration and I will love and cherish every moment we spent together. I love you Dad! (These are the lyrics to a song by Brad Paisley, the song is titled When I get where I'm going.)

When I get where I'm going on the far side of the sky.

The first thing that I'm gonna do Is spread my wings and fly.
I'm gonna land beside a lion, and run my fingers through his mane.
Or I might find out what it's like To ride a drop of rain
Yeah when I get where I'm going, there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles, I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open, I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going, Don't cry for me down here.
I'm gonna walk with my granddaddy, and he'll match me step for step, and I'll tell him how I missed him, every minute since he left. Then I'll hug his neck.
Yeah when I get where I'm going, there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles, I have carried all these years.

And I'll leave my heart wide open, I will love and have no fearYeah when I get where I'm going, Don't cry for me down here.
So much pain and so much darkness, in this world we stumble through. All these questions, I can't answer, so much work to do.

But when I get where I'm going, and I see my Maker's face. I'll stand forever in the light, of His amazing grace.
Yeah when I get where I'm going There'll be only happy tears

Hallelujah I will love and have no fear When I get where I'm going Yeah when I get where I'm going
