Within his arms


Within his arms where his strength lies
This is what I see through my eyes
Within his arms there is warmth of love
as soft as a white winged dove
Within his arms there is a sweet embrace
When I look up I see a smile on his face.
Within his arms there is security
I feel so secure and purity
Within his arms I feel safe and sound
against his chest I hear his heart pound
Within his arms I can't go wrong
Within his arms is where I belong

Losing a loved one

On February 8 2009 my Grandma Forbes passed away. I was getting ready for Mercedes birthday party out at Nick And Mary's. Mary and I were cleaning the house when the phone rang. We both looked at each other and knew what it was. I said that's my mom, sure enough it was. We carried on with the party. Then Chip and I went back to mom and dads.
We stayed the whole week.What a long full week it was. Thursday was the funeral Kirk Carie Katie Shawn Cory Jeff Chip and I were pall bears, while Kain Chaney and Mercedes were honorary pall bearers. Mercedes did a wonderful job she kept reminding me that we had to be quite cause grandma was sleeping. She was so good, i felt bad for her when we started singing, my grandma loved to have everyone sing so the congregation sang on the wings of a dove. Mercedes started crying when we were in the middle of the song. I told her that we had to sing to Grandma, that made her feel better, she even started singing.
We laid my grandma to rest beside my Grandpa, and next to her parents. Then we returned to the church for cake and coffee and a lot of reminiscing.

    Alisha, I was so sorry to hear about your grandma. I was glad I got to say Hi to her when she was in the Scottsbluff hospital. Our thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family. I am sorry I didn't get on here sooner but am a little limited about sitting time since my surgery. Once again I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Neva was a wonderful person and she will be greatly missed.
