Always here :-)  / Me
I keep hearing this song, "If You're Reading This" and have needed you so bad lately and like always you are here with me EVERY step of the way. Conversations we have had and things you have said echo in my mind everyday. Time is still moving and life is still going on. Sometimes I don't know how but it is. Devin is getting so big, which I know you already know, but still worth saying I guess. He's already started talking about being in the Army when he is bigger! I miss you so much and can't believe that it will be two years soon. Everyday I think about the time we had before you were taken home and feel so glad to have had that time with you. To see you grow from a teenager into a real man. You showed me what it meant to love and be happy and I to carry that with me everyday. I love you and miss you so much there are no words to convey that, but I know you know how deep my love goes for you!

If you're reading this
My momma is sitting there
Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here
I sure wish I could give you one more kiss
War was just a game we played when we were kids
Well I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my boots
I'm up here with God
And we're both watching over you

So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my momma always prayed where it would go.
If you're reading this I'm already home.

If you're reading this
Half way around the world
I won't be there to see the birth of our little girl
I hope she looks like you
I hope she fights like me
Stand up for the innocent and the weak
I'm laying down my gun
Hanging up my boots
Tell dad I don't regret that id follow in his shoes

So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul is where my momma always prayed where it would go
If you're reading this, I'm already home

If you're reading this, there is going to come a day
You move on and find someone else and that?s okay
Just remember this
I'm in a better place
Soldiers live in peace and angels sing amazing grace

So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul is where my momma prayed where that it would go
If you're reading this
If you're reading this
I'm already home

The 173rd has redeployed and they have lost two already welcome them with open arms and help them look after their families. Continue to wrap us in your arms as we still cry and yearn for you! I love you, babe...Always&Forever! Close

My Immortal  / Debbie

My Immortal

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
Cause 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.
