Missing Lisa

It has been 11 years today since Lisa lost her battle with breast cancer; but won the victory of going to her heavenly home. I miss her so much. I think the words of this song written by Gerald Crabb and performed by the Crabb Family describes it perfectly:
I SURE MISS YOU
Words and music by Gerald Crabb
If life could only bring again, the days I took for granted when to hear your voice was just a call away. Oh what I'd give for just some time, to say the things that slipped my mind there's so much now I'd really like to say. But I can never go back when we did the things we did back then I'll store those precious memories in my mind. I'll take what you've instilled in me; I'll try to be all I can be and walk the path that you have left behind.
Chorus: I sure miss you; life will never be the same with you not here. Each passing day has brought much pain but with God's grace my strength remains I sure miss you, but heaven's sweeter with you there.
Verse II: The little things that seemed so small are now like gold in a memory vault I cherish every one I have of you. Now I can see and recognize the part you played to shape my life I often see you in the things I do. In God's design and master plan He saw the hurting hearts of man as we would say goodbye to those so dear. So with our family and friends we'll be together once again we'll view all heaven's splendor hand in hand.

I miss you sweet Lisa. I wish you could see what a precious young woman Melissa has become. I know you would be proud beyond measure.

I cant believe it's been 11 years. Lisa has been on my mind all week. I miss her smile
and laughter. And her sweet spirit.

Lisa would one proud Momma to see what a wonderful young lady Melissa is. It never goes away, that hole that is created once we lose a loved one, it just gets a little easier to deal with time.
