Philip,
Joe loves to listen to your skiing song: Free Falling by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Free Falling
"She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America, too
She's a good girl, who's crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses, and her boyfriend too
And it's a long day livin' in Reseda (heaven)
There's a freeway(to heaven) runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart
It occurred to me the other day that the lyrics could be yours sung from heaven. I’m not so crazy about Elvis and you aren’t necessarily a bad boy but you don’t miss me because Jesus is right there beside you and He tells you I’ll be alright…
I wish I always believed Him.
I miss you, Philip. We were going to take care of Mama together. I need your strength of body, of soul. We need your kindness; your unfailing tenderness and friendship with Mama; your understanding and gentleness and humor.
All of this reminds me of how desperately I miss you. How inadequate I feel without you. How I long to hold your hand and feel you are for me…
Free falling, Anne
