Wow. We had a great time tonight with him and the grandkids and his wife. I felt a huge hole open up when Josh left, but he is coming back Tuesday before going back to Ft Hood.

This is one of my Fav songs, and had no idea he liked it as well - the video with it though, tells the story of our troops.

MY IMMORTAL Lyrics - EVANESCENCE

My Immortal lyrics
Songwriters: Hodges, David; Lee, Amy; Moody, Ben;

I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me, me, me

[AwakeAtLast]
