DISCLAIMER

This blog is where I record a limited depiction of my feelings, family, and faith. My blog was recently under intense scrutiny, and so I feel this disclaimer is necessary. I try to tell my story as openly as I can, but this blog represents a cropped and narrow-viewed version of my story -- like all social media -- it is NOT the full story. Many events happen behind the scenes that are not recorded or written about, due to the sensitive nature of others involved. Life has many layers. Many layers can be shared and many cannot, and this blog is simply a layer of my life that I allow others to view, but it is not an accurate depiction of all the layers of my life.

Unchained Melody: Our Song

Unchained Melody has been our song from day one of us being together. The words are a little painful now, but profoundly powerful, too.

I am so grateful to have recorded so many of the things we have done together, and this video will forever be special to me. Look at my beautiful boy… I love Charles.

I want you to know that he lives, and he is still with me, and he always will be. We have that kind of love.

God speed your love to me, my Charles.



Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
"Wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home, wait for me

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

    I never knew Charles could sing like that! He always made his voice crack and was so goofy, he always made us laugh with his "singing" voice. Thank you for sharing!

    Hi Mari,

    I attended the funeral today but I left a little early (teething babies and quiet meetings don't mix well, do they?) so I didn't get a chance to talk to you. But I just wanted to tell you that I feel like I am a better person now for having gone and listened to the things that were said and being able to reflect on life and eternity.

    You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

    Kellie
