Little Man's funeral was this morning. There really aren't words to describe what it was like, but there was a beautiful slidesow set to this song, and the words were so touching and so perfect. I hope I'm not breaking too many laws by sharing the lyrics with you and adding it to my playlist (you should be hearing it right now). It is called Fly, by Celine Dion.
Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet
Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget
Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light

I'm so sorry for their loss. I've been to many a tiny funeral, it never gets easier. Each loss is just as deep and profound as the last. I'm praying for your friends, that they are able to find some peace.

Making me cry all over again. I just said this to the other H, I can't think of when I'll stop praying for them. It was really special to be there yesterday. Thanks for posting this song.
I put a link to your blog from mine. Hope you don't mind. What a day. I'm with Tracy.
