"Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You."
Psalm 143:8

Godspeed
Several things happened today. I'll share more detail later but everywhere I went today I was touched by William. I feel a combination of sweet peace and heavy, crushing grief. I truly did not know it was possible to hurt so much. The missing of him is unbearable. Yet, how can I help but smile when I think of him?
A slight disclaimer...I really detest country music. I don't know anything about the group that sings this particular song except they were in some trouble over something they said or did a few years ago. I have no idea what it was. But I recognized their name.
But this song is good. And it makes me smile. Somehow it makes me think of his time here with me AND his joy in heaven all at the same time. And of putting my arms around him again.
Lyrics:
Dragon tales and the "water is wide"
Pirate's sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon, we'll find the mouse
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
God bless mommy and match box cars
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God hears "Amen," wherever we are
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
What began as updates of William's daily life as seen through the eyes of his mother: about deafness and learning to hear with cochlear implants, blindness, breathing issues, mobility, and more...became one family learning to walk through their deepest sorrow when William flew home to heaven on October 18, 2015.
