Always Remembered 🖤🤍🤍💙💔

Today is Memorial Day. A day I spend remembering. Remembering my loved ones who have passed. This one hits hard. It's my second Memorial day remembering my grandma and my sweet puppy dog and best friend. 🖤🤍💔 It's the first one since my grandpa's death. And my neighbors dogs death who very much felt like my own. 💔 I miss them all terribly. Especially right now. As summer officially begins.

Summertime is always nostalgic for me. It reminds me of the carefree days of childhood. My early morning walks with my dog. The BBQ's and cookouts that my grandpa always loved. Watching fireworks at my grandma's house. Babysitting "my little girl" and watching "my" second dog while the family went on summer vacation.

The quotes above are dedicated to ALL of my loved ones now gone...but these next ones are specifically for the greatest and hardest loss of all, my sweet angel and best friend in the world. The one who's death still hurts the most. The one I think about every single day and will mourn for the rest of my life. MY DOG:

💔💗💓

Today, I share my heart and thoughts in remembrance of these beloved individuals as I do best, through music. 

Life Goes On - Ed Sheeran

The first time I listened to this song I started sobbing, hard!! 😭 This one goes to my sweet boy in particular. Even if life does indeed go on with you gone, it's not the same. 💔 

It hit like a train

I ran out of words

I got nothing to say

Everything hurts

And I know love leads to pain

But memories serve our sweetest refrain

The waves came tumbling down

As you float away, I'm reaching for ya'

To tell me how

How my life goes on with you gone?

I suppose I'll sink like a stone

If you leave me now

Oh, the storms will roll

Easy come, hard go

Then life goes on

Would I miss the flames?

The heated reserve

Oh, I'd remember the way

That you put me first

What a heart-wrenching shame

That you'll never know, just like tears in the rain

Mm hmm, mm

A constant grey in the clouds

When I hear your name

I think of love

So tell me how

How my life goes on with you gone?

I suppose I'll sink like a stone

If you leave me now

Oh, the storms will roll

Easy come, hard go

Then life goes on

Ah-yeah, life goes on

Ah-yeah

I watched the sun setting down

I am so afraid

I need you now

To tell me how

How my life goes on with you gone?

I suppose I'll sink like a stone

If you leave me now

Oh, the storms will roll

Easy come, hard go

Then life goes on

Easy come, hard go

Then life goes on

Home Movies - Lukas Graham & Mickey Guyton

This song is so sweet and PERFECT to dedicate to all of my loved ones! 🤍 So grateful to have home videos and pictures that I can always look back on and remember; the sound of their voices, the laughter, the love, the stories. 

There's a boy, don't know what he's hidin'

He's got his mother's eyes, and his daddy's charm

Just the right mix

And there's a girl, she knew where to find him

In the local bar, smokin' in the dark

It was perfect timing

But what they both didn't know

Is how far this thing would go

And they might not want the truth

But if they do

Play 'em our home movies

If they wonder who I was

Even if they don't

Then play 'em just because

Let 'em see the highlights

And don't forget the lows

Everybody's got a story no one knows

So just let them play until the credits roll

There's a story, I didn't know we'd write it

However long it took, it's an open book

If you love surprises

There's a song underneath the silence

You can hear the crowd sing the words out loud

In just the right pitch

But what we both didn't know

Is how far this thing would go

And we might not make it through

But if we do

Play 'em our home movies

If they wonder who I was

Even if they don't

Then play 'em just because

Let 'em see the highlights

And don't forget the lows

Everybody's got a story no one knows

So just let them play until the credits roll

There's nothing I could be without these memories

Even though they might not show the best of me (Oh-oh)

Play 'em our home movies

If they wonder who I was

Even if they don't

Then play 'em just because (Play 'em just because)

Let 'em see the highlights

And don't forget the lows

Everybody's got a story no one knows (No one knows)

So just let them play until the credits roll

Always REMEMBERED and forever LOVED is how I will hold you all in my heart forever!!
