    I have had this bookmarked for a few years. I don't think I have seen it posted yet? It's alzheimer's so yeah we know it is sad. But added that so ((ehamilton)) and others wouldn't read it at work. *wink

    The song was written by a man who posts on the Alzheimer Assoc Forum in honor of his father in law.

    She's gonna fly


    This is the woman
    Who had all the answers
    The one I would lean on
    For comfort, for strength
    She's never forgotten
    One grandchild's birthday
    Now she can't remember my name
    And it makes me so angry
    I shake my fist
    And cry out to the heavenly one
    Why would you play
    Such a cold hearted trick
    I thought your job was to love
    And the answer came down from above

    She's gonna fly
    When her time here is through
    First she'll have to let go
    Of some things she can't use
    'Cause people and places
    Memories and faces
    Are just way too heavy it seems
    To carry on angel's wings

    This is the woman
    Who saw things so clearly
    The one who could pick out
    One crumb on the floor
    She saw through a white lie
    Saw me through love's eyes
    She hardly can see anymore
    And it makes me so sad
    And it just isn't fair
    Why should so much be taken away
    But when I cry out
    For all that she's lost
    I silently hear someone say

    She's gonna fly
    When her time here is through
    First she'll have to let go
    Of some things she can't use
    'Cause people and places
    Memories and faces
    Are just way too heavy it seems
    To carry on angel's wings

    And oh, the wonders she'll see
    And I know she'll remember
    To watch over me

    She's gonna fly
    When her time here is through
    First she'll have to let go
    Of some things she can't use
    'Cause people and places
    Memories and faces
    Are just way too heavy it seems
    To carry on angel's wings

    To carry on angel's wings

    Thank you for sharing that ((gail)). I saw this a few years back, so moving. Back then I thought I had researched enough that I knew what was to come. I knew nothing! *sigh
