"One day shy of eight years old
Grandma passed away
I was a broken hearted little boy,
Blowing out that birthday cake
How I cried when the sky let go
With a cold and lonesome rain
Mama said don't be sad child
Grandma's watchin' you today
'Cause there's holes in the floor of Heaven
And her tears are pourin' down
That's how you know she's watchin'
Wishin' she could be here now
And sometimes if you're lonely
Just remember she can see
There's holes in the floor of Heaven
And she's watchin' over you and me"
If you haven't noticed by now or don't know me well enough... I greatly relate to music. A song can say exactly what I am feeling or thinking and although I can't put it into words, the song can. At different times in my life, or even during the day, I can be feeling a certain way and when I turn on the radio the station just reads my mind. It happens various times when the song that's playing fits exactly what I am feeling at that moment. I listen to country music, it's practially 97% of what's on my computer, my phone, my ipod, and of course my car. And I listen to it because... well it usually tells a story. It's usually something I can relate to or have lived through.
So one night my friend Dawn asked me to listen to a song.
She sent me a link to a youtube video.
I immediately cried thinking... this is about Diego.
Diego was SUPER close to his Grandma. Diego lost her 3 months before his 7th birthday... and on that day he was sad. He came to me in the morning and said, "I am sad. Sad because this is my first birthday without Jamma." But I quickly reminded him that she can still see everything that happens and will still be watching on his special day. Grandma wouldn't miss it for the world.
He's always comforted knowing she can still see us.
But it's not always him who needs a reminder. Sometimes when I am feeling sad I have to remember that she is watching. It's not just something I say to make him feel better... it's something I know.
I hope he always continues to remember there's Holes in the floor of Heaven... and she's watching over all of us.

MICHELLE!! this is beautiful , I can't cry anymore I'm afraid of not being able to stop.
Remind me I still owe him a frame of him and Jamma. I will make it a point to have it done.
