"And we wept that one so lovely should have a life so brief."-William Cullen Bryant

Carol Michelle Hensley Singletary

You were an amazing friend, all things lovely and bright, and you were radiant with the love and hope of your salvation.

I don't understand why you ran out of life to live on earth so young, but I know that you are in a better place.

Love you.

Miss you, always..

"Weak and wounded sinner, lost and left to die,

Oh, raise your head, for love is passing by.

Come to Jesus, come to Jesus,

Come to Jesus and live.

Now your burden's lifted and carried far away,

And precious blood has washed away the stain.

So sing to Jesus, sing to Jesus,

Sing to Jesus and live.

And like a newborn baby, don't be afraid to crawl,

And remember when we walk, sometimes we fall.

So fall on Jesus, fall on Jesus,

Fall on Jesus and live.

Sometimes the way is lonely, and steep and filled with pain.

So if your sky is dark and pours the rain,

Then cry to Jesus, cry to Jesus,

Cry to Jesus and live.

Oh, and when the love spills over and music fills the night,

And when you can't contain your joy inside,

Dance for Jesus, dance for Jesus,

Dance for Jesus and live.

And with your final heartbeat, kiss the world goodbye.

Go in peace, and laugh on glory's side,

And fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus,

Fly to Jesus and live."

"It's odd, isn't it?People die every day and the world goes on like nothing happened. But when it's a person you love, you think everyone should stop and take notice. That they ought to cry and light candles and tell you that you're not alone."

-Kristina McMorris

"So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you."

John 16:22

Moving forward

"Another red letter day,

So the pound has dropped and the children are creating.

The other half ran away.

Got a pain in the chest,

Doctor's on strike-what you need is a rest.

It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust.

Friends will be friends.

When you're in need of love,

They give you care and attention.

Friends will be friends.

When you're through with life and all hope is lost,

Hold out your hand 

Cause friends will be friends right til the end.

Now it's a beautiful day.

The postman delivered a letter from your lover.

Only a phone call away,

You tried to track him down

But somebody stole his number.

As a matter of fact,

You're getting used to life 

Without him in your way.

It's so easy now 

Cause you've got friends you can trust.

Friends will be friends.

When you're in need of love,

They give you care and attention.

Friends will be friends.

When you're through with life and all hope is lost,

Hold out your hand

Cause friends will be friends right til the end.

Friends will be friends.

When you're in need of love,

They give you care and attention.

Friends will be friends.

When you're through with life and all hope is lost,

Hold out your hand cause right til the end,

Friends will be friends."

Feeling so beyond blessed lately as I look back at where I was compared to where I am now--seeing the beauty that is coming from the hurt and struggle. And I wouldn't be able to say any of this if I hadn't had the help, love, and support of so many amazing true friends who mean the world to me.
