"You said you would never leave me...I believe you, I believe..." -Flyleaf I had one of those days where a lot of people who passed through my life came to visit. I think it all started when a friend of mine sent me a link to this band she was listening to. When I heard their song “All Around Me” I instantly thought of Gabe and with that came a flood of memories. I just put the song on repeat and just turned it up as I worked away filling orders and getting things ready for the farmers market. I ended up getting a lot done. Tomorrow will be candles. Weee! Somehow I managed to put in a full days work, clean the house, do laundry and  I am making individual handmade chicken pot pies for dinner tonight, served of course with a nice salad. Everyone is looking forward to them so I cannot wait to see how it all turns out. I am behind in school! Ack! I am planning on studying for a little bit tonight and then possibly taking a moment to meditate and visit with my memories some more. I am filled with serious mixed emotions. It’s bitter sweet because I have spent a good part of my life trying so hard to ignore the hurt, sadness, and disappointment. However, when I close my eyes Gabe is there- or at least it feels like he is there- and he is with me for today…as is Chy…and everyone else who passed on....but not Heather because she only visits me in my dreams. It gives me hope to press on…to live a happy and good life…not only for myself but for them.   I hope everyone is well…~Bright Blessings~Rea“All Around Me”-Flyleaf (hear the song at:  http://www.flyleafmusic.com/main.html )My hands are searching for you...My arms are outstretched towards youl feel you on my fingertips...My tongue dances behind my lips for youThis fire runs in through my being...Burning...I'm not used to seeing you I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive I can feel you all around me,thickening the air I'm breathingHolding on to what I'm feeling,savoring this heart that's healing My hands float up above me....And you whisper you love meAnd I begin to fade...Into our secret placeThe music makes me sway...The angels singing sayWe are alone with you...I am alone and they are too with you I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive I can feel you all around me,thickening the air I'm breathingHolding on to what I'm feeling,savoring this heart that's healingAnd so I cry...The light is white...And I see you... I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive I can feel you all around me,thickening the air I'm breathingHolding on to what I'm feeling,savoring this heart that's healingTake my hand I give it to you Now you own me, all I am..You said you would never leave meI believe you, I believe...I can feel you all around methickening the air I'm breathingHolding on to what I'm feeling, Savoring this heart that's healed
