or ...... 2,087 days ...... since Jim died ...... I have never heard this song? Not once.
Not until tonight, when I watched "America's Got Talent".
As soon as the song started I told Daughter #1 what I'm about to tell you.
And I tried not to cry.
I've listend to Garth Brooks since Jim died. Not a lot, but I've listened.
Jim loved this song. After he heard it for the first time he made a point to have me listen to it. He said it reminded him of the times he had watched me sleep ...... and thought the exact same thing.
I told him then that the answer was, "Yes".
I never expected to have to really answer it ...... to have to really live it.
But my answer remains the same.
"Yes, Jim. I know. I always did and I always will."
And I'll love you forever.
Perfect Janine.... I'm glad you were able to share this "love story" with your daughter.. and with us..
ReplyDeleteI love this song... I've got it on a "mix cd" I made. Only thing is, sometimes it depresses me because Don isn't here... But I still love the song....
ReplyDeleteI heard this the day after Dave died while taking the kids to school. I cried then, and it still makes me teary eyed today.
