Text to the Ex

You know how you said that Green Day song Time Of Your Life was what hit you ... It's always reminded me of a friend's memorial service after he took his own life in the desert outside of Phx.  Anyhow, the song that has made me rethink things (albeit too late), was Live Like You Were Dying  by Tim McGraw.  I was almost crying at the concert like a big baby.  "...I loved deeper, and I spoke sweeter, and I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'" ... that really hit home.  And "to live like you were dyin', like tomorrow was the end, and ya got eternity to think about what to do with it, what should you do with it, what can I do with it, what would I do with it."  I'm going to make the best life I can for my kids.  I'm going to be here for them.  I'm going to go to school plays and if the boys wanna play football (god forbid) mama will be in the stands for every game with a big foam finger on.  I don't know how you'll do it being so far and missing all that.  THAT would be enough stress to kill me.  I guess you're tougher than I thought.  To me, Time of Your Life is an exit song.  Now it will be the boys exit song for you.  And I'll always think of that when I hear it...better than thinking of a friend commiting suicide I guess... You will be missed just as much, if not more. XOXO
