Funeral was Beautiful!

Everything went really well for the funeral. It was beautiful! I know she approved! Broadway shows and Musicals in general were such a great love in her life, she actually got a Broadway send-off without us even planning it! Tender Mercies I believe!!! The final, finale at her graveside was just the icing on her cake! As my Brother was Dedicating her grave, a train whistle sounded....not just once...like three or four times. A sure sign that Dad has picked her up at the station! We all chuckled again, just as we did the night before as we said our good-byes!

Heavenly Father loves us and does bless us in ways that are so amazing. I'm grateful that he speaks to me through music. Music kept going through my head yesterday. The same lines over and over again. When I couldn't go back to sleep at 4:45 a.m. I decided to get up and find the music, so I could remember the rest of the song! I haven't heard this song in years!!! It's from EFY 1989. My Brother-in-law and Sister sent me the tape while I was on my mission. (No, it wasn't an 8-track!!) I will try and bold the lines that kept going through my head yesterday. Here are the lyrics:

I wonder what she looked like
Was she anything like me
There's got to be a part of her
Found inside of me
Are her eyes as blue as mine are
Can her smile warm all hearts?
I miss being so close to her
She's my life's greatest star.

Cradle me in your arms once again
Before you set me to walk
Please teach me how to stand
For there's nothing like
Mother's loving hands

In life I've done some growing
And I've partied on my way
I've seen things in this lifetime
That I'm glad have gone away.
And someday I'll teach my children
All the things she taught to me
To love each precious moment
And to stand firm and always believe.

Cradle me in your arms once again
Before you set me to walk
Please teach me how to stand
For there's nothing like
Mother's loving hands

I can feel her
I can know that she's near me.
Do her arms enfold my life?
Sometimes when the sun breaks through
I know that I'm seeing you
Longing to touch your face
You've cradled me in your arms once again
You set me to walk
Now I've learned hot to stand
For there's nothing like
Mother's loving hands.
For there's nothing like
Mother's loving hands.
