I Believe by Diamond Rio
Every now and then soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And it’s like you haven’t been gone a moment from my side,
Like the tears were never cried,
Like the hands of time were pulling you and me.
And with all my heart I’m sure we’re closer than we ever were,
I don’t have to hear or see I’ve got all the proof I need.
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe
Oh I believe
Now when you die and life goes on, I
it doesn’t end here
When you’re gone every soul has found a flight
It never ends if I’m right.
Our love can even reach across eternity.
I believe
Oh I believe
Forever you’re a part of me,
Forever in the heart of me,
I will hold you even longer if I can.
Oh the people, who don’t see the most,
Say that I believe in ghosts.
If that makes me crazy then I am
Cuz I believe
Oh I believe
There are more than angels watching over me.
I believe
Oh I believe
Every now and then soft as breath upon my skin,
I feel you come back again
And I believe.

Here Without You....
These past few months without you here ...well,they have been some of the hardest days of my life.Michael,what I wouldn't give to have you here with me again.I have been walking around like a lost child...I feel almost empty inside.If it weren't for the kids and Haley...I'm not sure I could even force myself to get up everyday.It's like I am searching for the missing piece of me.Some days are much better then others but there is always this void ...this emptyness and the missing piece is You.People say ...Well he is always with you in your heart and your memory.Ya know what? it just isn't the same.We had so much left to do together.I am trying so hard to make every new day just a little bit better.Just the other night I was missing you so bad ...I didn't know what to do ...all I could do was sit here and cry.Asking myself over and over again why you had to leave so soon?I haven't been very good at communicating with anyone lately.I just don't know what to say or how to find the words to explain this sad and lonely feeling inside of me.Maybe the way I am feeling is all apart of the grieving process.
Knowing that Sidney Goodwin's trial will begin and Hating someone as much as I hate him!Wanting to know why he saw fit to take you away from me?!I am really really angry and I hope and pray that justice is served and he pays dearly for killing you.Oh my ...it makes my heart sink to my feet to see those words that I have typed.He murdered you and I will never understand or be able to accept that fact.It tears me up inside knowing what he did to you and what a coward he is! Does he have any idea what kind of person you are? Does he understand the lives that have been effected by what he has done to you? Does he know how well loved and respected you are? Does he have any idea who you are? It makes me sick inside to think about him and talk about him but I know I need too in order to make peace in my own life and my own heart.I know that you would not want me to let him take any more away from us then he already has.
I miss you so much ...there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you many many times.
I hope to make my way to Pineville soon...to sit with you and talk to you and see your resting place.To feel close to you.
I Love you Michael,
Vickie

Hurt By Johnny Cash
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

My Father's Eyes by Eric Clapton
Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.
Just a toerag on the run.
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
When I look in my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.
Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I’ve realized
That’s when I need them,
That’s when I need my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
That’s when I need my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I’m like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.
As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I’ve realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
I looked into my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.
I looked into my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes.

You've Got A Friend by James Taylor
When you’re down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
And you know whereever I am
I’ll come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You’ve got a friend.
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
I’ll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I’ll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They’ll hurt you and desert you.
Well they’ll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don’t you let them.
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don’t you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you’ve got to do is call.
Lord, I’ll be there, yes I will.
You’ve got a friend.
You’ve got a friend.
Ain’t it good to know you’ve got a friend.
Ain’t it good to know you’ve got a friend.
You’ve got a friend.

Just The Little Things
It's just the little things I miss the most ....
The sound of your laughter,the phrases you would use...."Solid",
"Cool So Cool" , "Kick Ass Tune" , "You're Good People" :)
Your kind and caring ways ...always wanting to make sure everyone else was okay no matter how you were feeling yourself.I miss your stories I think most of all.I have been many places and have seen many things through your eyes and your stories.Someone said to me not too long ago...."You learned alot from Michael didn't you?" They stopped me in my tracks when they said that.Because. I really did learn so very much from you.I understand more now than ever before the phrase...."You don't know what you've got until it is gone" I always knew you were so very special to me but, I lost so much more than a friend the day you died.You were a teacher and a mentor without even realizing it.You were such a wonderful emotional supporter...no matter what you were there to encourage me and talk me through whatever I was going through.Sometimes I question God,wanting to know why you had to die?Why you had to leave me so soon?Why you had to die the way you did?I don't know the answers but, I have to believe it all happened for a reason and that your death served a purpose far greater than anything I can comprehend. People with your heart and your soul just do not die the way you did without an amazing reason.It's weird ....for awhile now I never even wanted to talk about you dying and how you died...but, I think it is important to talk about.It tears my heart up just to think about .....but I know without a doubt that God was there to take you in his arms and that you did not suffer and you are in a much better place now.Your beautiful soul is still very much alive and more vibrant and happy then ever before.You certainly are living on here on Earth in the hearts of so many others.I sometimes feel a bit guilty for seeming so selfish when it comes to you ...I can't help but smile when I say that because,I know you would let me be very selfsih when it came to you.You always did.Our Time was our time...Just you and me.When you talked to me I had your undivided attention,I mattered more than anything else at those times.I know that no matter what...you cherished and appreciated our time together as much as I did/do.We shared so much together...the good,the bad.the happy and the sad.Thank You for making sure I knew I mattered and that it was okay to be me.You liked my spirit and my spunk and even though you never said much about it I know you tolerated my moodiness because, you saw something in me that surpassed whatever cranky or crazy mood I may have been in.You understood me and you accepted the bad as well as the good because, it was all apart of who I am.What a wonderful world we would live in if more people had your outlook and spirit.I miss You Michael.The hurt and the sadness never goes away but, you gave me enough to hold on to and believe in and I know you want me to be happy and to move on.I try ....it's hard but I do try and I think you know that. ;) It's snowing ...as much as I say I don't like it,it reminds me of you and it just doesn't seem so bad these days.
I Love You always,
Vickie

Dear Michael,
I have no idea if I am doing this right or not...
I am trying to hold on to your personality and your heart with this web site.Everyday it seems I hear a song that reminds me of you or I remember a song that was playing in the background when I have been talking to you.
I hope that you are pleased and proud ...
I think you would be so impressed with the dedications and the wonderful words your friends all have to say about you.
If there is any way possible I hope you know how much you meant to so many people.
I know you are close by ...
Sometimes I can feel you there.
Just when I think I can't take one more step or make one more effort to get through a day without being sad .....Something reminds me of the smiles you have put on my face :) The laughter and the happy moments we have shared.Those memories make it just a little easier. I, Thank You for that.
I am beginning to believe you taught me some valueable lessons along the way.Lessons about patience and thinking things through before speaking or reacting.Afterall, you and I both know I can be a Hot Head ;) I look back now and I know that my time with you was a journey I was meant to take.I was supposed to cross paths with you.It very simply was meant to be.I don't know exactly why but, I don't question that.I just know it happened for a reason and I am happy that God made it possible for you to come into my life.Even though it wasn't nearly for long enough...the time I did have with you was priceless and precious and a true gift.How I wish you were still here...we had so much left to do and talk about and share.But, as long as I am alive you my dear friend will live on through my eyes,my heart and my soul because, you are very much apart of me.I don't think you ever realized how much you did for people....you inspired them and encouraged them...you lifted them up when they couldn't stand on their own.You helped them survive and have faith.What a blessing you have been to so many.I miss you so much and I know I will never feel or be the same as I was before you died but, I like to think I am just a little bit better than I was before, I met you.
I Love You My Friend,
Vickie

UnBrEaK My HearT by Toni Braxton
Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me
1-Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Un-do this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart, my heart
Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me
(repeat 1)
Ohh, oh
Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back the nights when I held you beside me
(rpt 1)
Un-break my
Un-break my heart, oh baby
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart
Sweet darlin'
Without you I just can't go on
Can't go on

I Don't Want To Miss A Thing by AEROSMITH
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss a thing

~ Angel ~ by AEROSMITH
I'm alone
Yeah, I don't know if I can face the night
I'm in tears and the cryin' that I do is for you
I want your love - Let's break the walls between us
Don't make it tough - I'll put away my pride
Enough's enough I've suffered and I've seen the light
[Chorus:]
Baby
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right
Don't know what I'm gonna do
About this feeling inside
Yes it's true - Loneliness took me for a ride
Without your love - I'm nothing but a begger
Without your love - a dog without a bone
What can I do I'm sleeping in this bed alone
[Chorus]
Come and save me tonight
You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
You're the reason I give
When I break down and cry
Don't need no reason why
Baby , Baby
[Chorus]
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
you're my angel
Come and take me allright
Come and save me tonight,
Come and save me tonight,
Come and save me tonight,
Come and save me tonight,
Come and save me tonight

EvErYwHeRe by Fleetwood Mac
Can you hear me calling
Out your name
You know that I'm falling
And I don't know what to say
I'll speak a little louder
I'll even shout
You know that I'm pround
And I can't get the words out
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
(Wanna be with you everywhere)
Something's happening
Happening to me
My friends say I'm acting peculiarly
C'mon baby
We better make a start
You better make it soon
Before you break my heart
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
(Wanna be with you everywhere)
Can you hear me calling
Out your name
You know that I'm falling
And I don't know what to say
Come along baby
We better make a start
You better make it soon
Before you break my heart
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
(Wanna be with you everywhere)

A dedication to Michael from Bella
Fleetwood Mac - Silver Springs Lyrics
You could be my silver springs
Blue green colors flashin?
I would be your only dream
Your shining autumn, ocean crashing
And did you say she was pretty
And did you say that she loves you
Baby, I don?t wanna know
I?ll begin not to love you
Turn around, see me runnin?
I?ll say I loved you years ago
Tell myself you never loved me, no
And did you say she was pretty
And did you say that she loves you
Baby, I don?t wanna know
Oh, no
And can you tell me was it worth it
Really, I don?t wanna know
Time casts a spell on you, but you won?t forget me
I know I could have loved you, but you would not let me
Instrument solo
Time casts a spell on you, but you won?t forget me
I know I could have loved you, but you would not let me
I?ll follow you down til? the sound of my voice will haunt you
(on 3rd time
Stevie oversings, "was I such a fool? "
You?ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you
(3x)
My blue green colors flashin?
You could be my silver springs

ThE FlamE by Cheap Trick
Another night slowly closes in,
And I feel so lonely.
Touching heat freezing on my skin,
I pretend you still hold me.
I’m going crazy, I’m losing sleep.
I’m in too far, I’m in way too deep over you.
I can’t believe you’re gone.
You were the first, you’ll be the last.
Wherever you go, I’ll be with you.
Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.
Watching shadows move across the wall,
I feel so frightened.
I wanna run to you, I wanna call,
But I’ve been hit by lightening.
Just can’t stand up for fallin’ apart.
Can’t see through this veil across my heart, over you.
You’ll always be the one.
You were the first, you’ll be the last.
Wherever you go, I’ll be with you.
Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.
I’m going crazy, I’m losing sleep.
I’m in too far, I’m in way too deep over you.
You’ll always be the one.
You were the first, you’ll be the last.
Wherever you go, I’ll be with you.
Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.
Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.
Wherever you go, I’ll be with you.
And whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.

Go Rest High On That Mountain by Vince Gill
I know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain
(Chorus)
Go,Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels' faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing
So,Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
(Instrumental)
Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son.
