In one of your replys you said that there was a song called (GOD ONLY CRIES FOR THE LIVING) can you tell me who sings it please.

Many Thanks ...Mandy

Hi sweetie! It's by Diamond Rio, it's a country group. It's a beautiful song, there's also one by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton, called, "When I get where I'm going" and it's a beautiful song as well.

Are you looking for it for a specific reason? Or just curious as to what it's about? I hope you're doing well. I haven't posted as much as I would like, it's been overwhelming lately...but I hope you're doing well.

How are you? Shoot, how is everyone?

Thanks Angel, I am not doing very well.

You can read some of my posts and threads If you like, It will give you a idea whats being going on with me, Thanks for asking!!

How have you been keeping, About the songs I have been going to church and I now do know that there is a God. Have you heard the song (There is a reason by Alison Krauss and Union Station) It good try and see if you can get it ....God Bless ...Mandy

I will check out your posts when I'm a little more awake. The last little bits been hard. I believe in the silly signs that show us they are not gone. While cooking dinner last night, out of the blue, a big lady bug flew in the kitchen and landed just above me. It was funny, the way she flew in, it's almost as if she was looking for me and when she found me, she settled in.

She stayed close all night long....in fact, now that I think about it, I'm going to go check and see if she's still here!!! HAHAHA, doesn't take much to entertain an idle mind!

I don't know the song, but I'll ask a friend of mine at the local station to play it for me.....I'll check back with you after I check on my bug!:D

How's the bug!!

Its 8 months today that I lost my dear mum, Oh I so do miss her Angel.
I was my mum Angel 1 & 2
It will be My mum's birthday on thursday she would have been 62 years young.
God Bless... Mandy

Angel I got a little laugh out of your lady bug story same thing happened with me but its with butterflys with my dad.I heard that song today playing and it made to think about coming on here....:wave:

Mad Another good song is "If Heaven" By Andy Griggs

I dont know if its good for you but the day I lost my father I was sitting in his chair in his living room and the radio was on real low,the house was full of people and I asked my to Daddy let me know your ok...And for some reason I could hear this song real soft playing over a house full of people talking, I hadnt noticed it was on before.I ran to turned it up and for me it was an answer I needed.I had never heard it before..

Hey Angel hope your doing good.

Mad hope your feeling better...

Isn't it amazing what a song can do for someone!!! Hope everyone is doing good-I take it one day at a time. It's only been 3 mths since my mom passes away from lung cancer. I try my best to think of all the good/fun times we had-all the goofey things she'd say not only me but my other sisters/brother and what she said about her grandkids. It's one way to get through the day. Peace!! Cher1052:wave:

DeeAnn....long time no 'see' sweetie. I am hanging in there and moving forward, somedays so slow the snails are asking me if there's something wrong! I love the bugs and butterflies....I've wondered how you were. I couldn't remember, so I went through your old posts to refresh my memory and now for the life of me, can't recall what I read. When I'm stressed or overly tired, my brain injury is worse and makes remembering things a lot more difficult.

Cher, I understand what you mean by the power of a song. There's so many that have brought comfort to me.

One of those, oddly enough, is Puff the magice dragon...it was my mom's favorite and she would get out her guitar and sing it to us...of course now I know what it was about:D back then I just liked the dragon and his friend, Jackie Paper!!!:D :D :D

I have never heard it on the radio and on my mom's birthday, I turned on the tunes to get into the shower and there it was, playing on the radio!! I couldn't believe it. My sister works for Albertsons and takes forever to answer her pages at work, but I thought I'd call and hope for the best or at least tell her what was on. I couldn't believe it, she answered the phone that day....

I was half laughing, in disbelief, with tears rolling down my face and told her, "Listen to this!!" then I put the phone up to the radio and all she could say was, "Oh my gosh! It's mom"....I never heard it before on air, and haven't since. I live in Utah and we're pretty up tight here, so I doubt I'll ever hear it again.. But it was awesome.

It took me a while to realize why people cried at concerts, I honestly thought they were all idiots or overly dramatic, but as I've gotten older, I realize the power a song has especially in someone's grief and healing as well.

My mom's favorite song was "I hope you dance" by Leanne Womack and it is also what is put on her headstone. We put her name, with "We hope you dance" on it under her name and then we put a hand full of marbles under that....she always joked that she would find her marbles one day...and since the day of her funeral, my sister, son, and I have been finding a lot of them...all crystal clear, with a mirrored finish and in perfect condition.

In fact, my son brought home an aquamarine colored one from school just yesterday. Makes you feel good to have something to hold on to.

Lots of love everyone.....Angel

Talk about favorite songs-my mom had a few-and when we were talking with her about her funeral she had few special requests *the first was that all of us her children and grandchildren dress nicely for her - which we did and to leave her proof my neice took a photo of me,my sisters and brother on the day of the funeral and we placed it in her coffin. *the 2nd was a request for a special song to be sung by my brother "the Drummer Boy". My brother not only sang that for her but he also sang for the entire service. He has a christian/rock band and various band. I don't know how he pulled it off-but God bless him for what he did!
