Lately I've been thinking about Holly a lot. Well actually, I always think about her. Ever since she has passed, I think about her daily.
I never realized that I would be so upset and saddened still 5 months after someone passed that I wasn't that close to. I think it's because even though we didn't talk very often, we still connected. We understood each other. We had love for animals, people, and boys, and we loved to talk about all of them. She was just one of the sweetest, most chipper people I've ever met.
If there was anyone I knew that could walk into a room and just brighten it up with her smile, it was Holly.
I know we weren't super close, but when we worked together, we were. We gossiped about everything, and I was always getting the new dirt on what new boy she was into. She was so innocent when I met her, but so eager to experience life.
Many people have passed away, and lots of people have experienced losing someone at a young age. Holly is the closest person to me that has passed away suddenly at such a young age. It'll be 6 months since she passed next month, and there hasn't been one day that she hasn't crossed my mind. I miss being able to go into the Roadhouse and have her plop down at the table with me so eager to chat it up and find out what's going on in each other's lives.
On the way to my cousin's Celebration of Life, a song came on the radio that brought me to tears. Sean told me that it's about a girl that worked for Alan Jackson that died at a young age in a car accident. The words could not have fit more perfectly. And even though I was on my way to my cousin's funeral, all I could think and cry about was Holly.
I think this song says it perfectly, Holly. I think you would have liked it.
Click to viewWhy did she have to go
So young, I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason, without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe....
She flew up to heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her love ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Loved ones she left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe....
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels.
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
Will always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause
She flew up to heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me
