For Stacy

Got distracted from CSI by hearing Jon Secada singing out of my roommate's TV, so I decided to let the VCR finish taping it and come do some stuff on the comp. I'm checking my email and reading pals' journals and posting to my lists when Faith Hill's voice starts crooning from the WinAmp.

It's been almost six years, and I still can't listen to "There You'll Be" without thinking of my sister. In the year or so before she moved to Illinois, we fought and couldn't see each other's POV to save our lives. We drove each other crazy. Despite all that, deep down inside, I knew my sister loved me and cheered for me. I know even now she is beside me, guiding me and helping me through the craziness of my life.


There You'll Be -- sung by Faith Hill

When I think back on these times
And the dreams we left behind
I'll be glad 'cause I was blessed
To get to have you in my life
When I look back on these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there will always be a place for you
For all my life I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you'll be

Well you showed me how to feel
Feel the sky was in my reach
And I always will remember all the strength you gave to me
Your love made me make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there will always be a place for you
For all my life I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you'll be

'Cause I always saw in you my light, my strength
And I want to thank you now
For all the ways you were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you
For all my life I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you'll be

I also think of and remember Stacy everyday. Every so often we'd IM each other on MSN msger when she was in Illinois. She was one of the first people from camp that knew I was married and in Michigan. I miss her!
