I was walking down the card aisle in Walmart yesterday looking for a Father's Day card for my dad when I passed the section of cards for grandfathers. I was suddenly reminded that both my grandfathers were gone. Pa passed away in May of 04 and my Papa passed away January of 05. Not that I ever forget just that at times it just hits me. Like at Prom and at graduation. I miss 'em both so much it isn't funny and I can't believe their really gone sometimes. But then on my way home I heard this song by Diamond Rio and realized just how true it is.

God Only Cries
On an icy road one night
A young man loses his life
They marked the shoulder with a cross
An' his family gathers round
On a piece of Hallowed ground
Their hearts are heavy with their loss
As the tears fall from their eyes
There's one who'll always sympathise.

God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
An' all the angels up in Heaven
They're not grieving because they're gone
There's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than, mmm, baby, than, oh
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are so far from home.

It still makes me sad
When I think of my Grand-dad
I miss him each and every day
But I know the time will come
When my own gradnson
Wonders why I went away
Maybe we're not meant to understand
Till we meet up in the Promised Land.

God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
And all the angels up in Heaven
They're not grieving because they're gone
There's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than, oh, baby, than oh
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are so far from home
Yeah, we're so far from home, Mmmm, Mmmm
