Hold Your Head High

Me: I traveled far along with you
Mommy: We walked the world and together grew
Me: It will be strange being without you

Me: You gave me strength and helped me grow. But now it's time to be on my own
Mommy: I hope you know this was difficult

Mommy: A part of you is a part of me and will always be

Mommy: So hold your head high
               It's so hard to say, "Goodbye"
               I just have to take this chance
               I hope you understand

Mommy: We'll go on our separate ways 
               It may be hard
               but I'm not afraid
               I think it's good
               life makes us change

Mommy: So don't be sad
               The best is yet to come
               But until it does...

               Just hold your head high
               It's so hard to say, "Goodbye"
               I just have to take this chance
               I hope you understand

I won't forget those times
I won't forget those feelings
So don't forget that I'm going to see you again

So hold your head high
It's so hard to say, "Goodbye"

Hold Your Head High - Colbie Caillat

I've known this song for a few years now and this week, I spent a lot of time listening to it in the car. It brings tears to my eyes almost every time. 

I have absolutely no musical talent, but it has been on my heart to write a song for some months now. I started working on some lyrics a few weeks ago and one day, I hope to make a real song out of it.

Six Months

Mommy, Hi! It's a milestone month...month 6. Where has the time gone? Some days I feel as though the time passes like a flash of lightning and other times I feel like the days drag on and I become frustrated about how far away seeing you again, really is. Here come the tears. They always come. This time, they are just freely flowing out of my eyes. I can't keep up with wiping them away right now, so I am letting them slide down my cheeks, over my lips. The tears that miss my lips fall onto my shirt, but I don't mind, because this day is almost over. It is October now. October 8, 2013. Fall is here and it has now been two seasons since you passed. September was hard because you had hoped that you could stay on Earth until that month. And I feel the same way, I wanted more time with you. Momma, those extra months would have never been enough. A few days ago I read through some of the cards you sent me while at college. Here are a couple that I love... This was a ...

The Year of Running

Image
Hello World, It's me, Kelsey. I don't actually have a plan for this post but I should start by being honest...today's day is actually February 23, 2015. This post is time-stamped back in December but I haven't gotten around to writing it yet. Today's date is significant though...exactly one year ago today I was chasing that Princess Half dream, 13.1 miles down the road. So today seems like a good day to write about my year of running. To get a clear picture of how this year of running came to be we should time travel back to June 11, 2013. The day that registration opened for the 2014 Disney Princess Half Marathon. A number of my friends and I had decided that we were going to do this. My phone reminded me all week that registration would open on June 11. When that day came, I was completely terrified. I knew I wanted to do it but the reality of it was that I really had never run more than 3-4 miles...ever. I held my breath, typed in my credit card information and h...

Heavenly Mail

I know Heaven is real. I cannot wait to get there and see my momma again. I wonder what Heaven is like? I try not to think too much about it because the thought of "forever" can be overwhelming for me.  I write letters to my momma on here. Does she read them? I don't know. I hope so and that alone is enough to keep me writing. When I was little I used to think that people in Heaven could see everything that I was doing. Today, that just doesn't make sense. I don't think my mom can look down and see me. It is too sad down here on Earth. I am too sad. She wouldn't want to see that. Heaven is filled with only joy and no tears or suffering. If my mom could see my pain it would question the validity of everything we know about Heaven. Or at least everything we think we know about Heaven.  So how do I talk to my momma? I simply talk to God. He is the Creator of the Universe. If He can't be a messenger, than who can? I tell Him to hug her or tell her that I love ...
