When I get where I'm going
I love this song and when I sing it I alter the words slightly to fit me. It makes me cry every time I hear it and makes me love it even more!
By Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton
When I get where I am going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly
I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here
I'm gonna walk with my momma
And she'll match me step for step
And I'll tell her how I missed her
Every minute since she left
Then I'll hug her neck
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here
So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work left to do
But when I get where I'm going
And see my makers face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
I continue to miss my mom and struggle with wanting to be a mom. I had yet another attempt of insemination fail me this week. I try to understand how so many people that should not have children or don't want them have do trouble. I have been trying one way or another for almost five years! Am I to give up? Can I afford to continue trying?
All I can do is pray God hears my tears.

Heidi,
You are right, so many people do not want their children, have you and your husband thought of adoption? Sometimes when you try so hard and long it stresses you out. So many children do not have a home. Maybe you could save one of them.

Oh Heidi!
I'm so sorry...I can't imagine how upsetting and frustrating this must be. It seems birth and death have a few things in common - no rhyme or reason, completely unfair, totally unpredictable...
We have huge social structures in place for death (sympathy cards, funerals, cemetaries) yet very little to support loved ones through birth. Considering pregnancy is such a struggle for so many people, you'd think there would be more support.
I only wish there was something I could do for you. The only thing I can think of at the moment is this - if you'll sing this song, I'll learn the guitar part.
My best,
becca
