Just in case you need them, Dad.

I will miss getting voicemails of you playing this song into the phone. I remember when this song was featured on a commercial, you were so excited. And of course, that dance.


Here are the lyrics to one of your favorite songs, just in case you forgot a verse or two.......

With love, your sweet Melissa




Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah...

The gypsy flies from coast to coast

Knowing many, loving none, Bearing sorrow havin fun, But back home he'll always run


To sweet melissa... mmm...Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.

And no one knows the gypsys name.

No one hears his lonely sigh,There are no blankets where he lies.


In all his deepest dreams the gypsy fliesWith sweet melissa... mmm...Again the mornings come, Again hes on the run, Sunbeams shining through his hair, Appearing not to have a care.


Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on.


Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord)


Will you hide the dead mans ghost, Or will he lie, beneath the clay, Or will his spirit roll away?


But I know that he wont stay without melissa.


Yes I know that he wont stay without melissa.

Mel,
I remember your wedding day and you and your Dad dancing to that song. Your parents brought such joy to all our lives, I am so thankful I got to meet them and spend some fun times with them. I know that they are watching over you and your sister and I am sure love that you continue to talk to them everyday. Nothing can bring them back unfortunately but they will never leave your side and this blog is a great way to work through these tough times. I am so proud of you and am here for you girl.

luv ya,
Lisa
