Thanksgiving Day Without You and Yet You Are With Your Dad

With Hope
This is not at all how we thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you,
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away and left us with the memory of your smile
And nothing we can say and nothing we can do
Can take away the pain of losing you but

We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no.
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
There's a place by God's grace
There's a place where we'll see your face again

And never have I known anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more the wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile and say well done
And I imagine you where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now your home and now your free

We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe all God has promised us is true
So we wait with hope . . . we ache with hope . . .
We hold on with hope . . .
We let go . . . with hope

Miss you so much today as if it was yesterday. Keep your thoughts and help your dad!
Thanksgiving is harder this year.
Love you, my son!
Mom
