Through the back window of our '59 wagon
I watched my best friend Jamie slipping further away
I kept on waving till I couldn't see her
And through my tears I asked again why we couldn't stay
Mama whispered softly, time will ease your pain
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

CHORUS:
And she said, how can I help you to say goodbye
It's okay to hurt, and it's okay to cry
Come let me hold you, and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye I sat on our bed, he packed his suitcase
I held a picture of our wedding day
His hands were trembling, we both were crying
He kissed me gently, and then he quickly walked away
I called up Mama, she said, time will ease your pain
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

REPEAT CHORUS

Sitting with Mama, alone in her bedroom
She opened her eyes, and then squeezed my hand
She said, I have to go now, my time here is over
And with her final words she tried to help me understand
Mama whispered softly, time will ease your pain
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

Today is the 13th Anniversary of my Moms death, I miss her very much.She was a kind, loving, warm , goodhearted woman who would do anything for anyone. I was unable to be with her when she passed away. For years I carried that guilt with me. But I did have ther reassurance that she died in my fathers arms.She was not alone. She was cared for at home by us for 9 months. That is something I will never ever regret doing. This song bye Patty Loveless, touched my heart so deeply, that I thought I would share it with you all. I know that if she could be here with me now, she would want me to tell you all as I do myself, that your support and caring means so much. And thank you for that. She is missed very much. Thanks for reading .

Love,
