I'm Already There

With wedding plans at a stand still, changes happening so quickly & the wedding just around the corner I've been thinking about my dad. My dad passed away when I was twelve and so I never got to introduce him to any high school crush or my fiance' Rick.

I know that my dad would approve of my choice, because I know he was with me the day that Rick proposed - I felt his presence in the sunshine, shinning on me.

[and the picture below was the day Rick proposed just a few minutes after (April 5, 2008) and in the picture below we did nothing to change it... that is just how it turned out & I feel as though it is an angel; my dad right there beside me]

Rick re-wrote me a song [a few years ago] to remind me that my dad will always be there for me - no matter what happens. And I know that I need him right now & I know he is here.

" She got down on her knees

And prayed alone in her cold bedroom

Just to tell her dad i love you one more time

But then she heard a sound

It was her daddy talking in the background

She smiled and wiped a tear from her eye

Her little voice said I love you so

And I wish you could come back home

He said the first thing that came to his mind

I'm already there

Take a look around

I'm the sunshine in your hair

I'm the shadow on the ground

I'm the whisper in the wind

I'm your imaginary friend

And I know I'm in your prayers

Oh I'm already there

Sometime I feel alone

I really miss you daddy

He said i see that you are beautiful and bright

You are my little girl

I'll always be here for you

And I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight

And I'll gently kiss your lips

Touch you with my figertips

So turn out the light and close your eyes

I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shinning down
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there

We may be a million miles apart

But I'll be with you wherever you are

I'm already there"
