Awmac, I dont have the words to answer that one, at all. You are in mine and my wife's thoughts. If there is anything we can do to help, let me know. Stay strong fella, you have a load of friends here to help.

Well, I wrote a song as a tribute to my wife, and have had several women tell me it tears them up when they hear it.  It's called "Crying In Her Sleep", and you can here it at http://www.myspace.com/richowen61

Give it a listen if you've got a few minutes and tell me what you think.

I came across this song by chance not long after two of my three kids died in a car wreck, now two years ago.

How he knows what it's like I have no idea but it's as close as it comes to describing how it feels.  I know it was written in the wake of 9/11 (also my late daughter's birthday)

I can't listen to it without tears for my kids.

You're Missing-Bruce Springsteen

Shirts in the closet, shoes in the hall
Mama's in the kitchen, baby and all
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing

Coffee cups on the counter, jackets on the chair
Papers on the doorstep, you're not there
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing

Pictures on the nightstand, TV's on in the den
Your house is waiting, your house is waiting
For you to walk in, for you to walk in
But you're missing, you're missing
You're missing when I shut out the lights
You're missing when I close my eyes
You're missing when I see the sun rise
You're missing

Children are asking if it's alright
Will you be in our arms tonight?

Morning is morning, the evening falls I have
Too much room in my bed, too many phone calls
How's everything, everything?
Everything, everything
You're missing, you're missing

God's drifting in heaven, devil's in the mailbox
I got dust on my shoes, nothing but teardrops

Thanks guys for the kind words... getting over the initial shock of things.

Taking new hard look at the things in my life and especially the important ones I've somehow over looked.

This is a great community. No matter how much we argue and bicker, you all have Heart. And I am glad to be a part of it.

Sorry about that.  I accidently left a period "." at the end of the URL.  The link has been fixed, and is repeated below.

Tim McGraw's new song "If You're Reading This" really hits home as well.  I've got a few friends flying for Kalitta Charters whose job it is to fly soldiers to their final resting places.  One of those very airplanes brought a friend of mine and one of my mother's former students to his home.  I think it was especially hard on her since she liked him so much and was my age.

That said here is a video of Vince Gill's "Rest High on that Mountain" to the video of one of those soldiers.  This video is worth a thread in itself I believe but I'll post it here for now.  Someone posted this on another board I frequent and it brings tears to my eyes.

A fallen soldiers return home.
