Another good song....

Highly appropriate for today as we stood out in the pouring rain waiting to release the many balloons to send to J for his birthday.

Thanks Paige for the song...thanks Deb for the balloons and getting us all together today.

Holes in the Floor of Heaven
Steve Warner

One day shy of eight years old
Grandma passed away
I was a broken hearted little boy
blowing out that birthday cake

How I cried when the sky let go
With a cold and lonesome rain
Momma smiled said don't be sad child
Grandma's watchin you today

'Cause there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and her tears are pourin' down
that's how you know she's watchin'
wishin' she could be here now
And sometimes if you're lonely
just remember she can see
there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and she's watchin' over you and me

Seasons come and seasons go
nothin' stays the same
I grew up fell in love
met a girl who took my name

Year by year we made a life
in this sleepy little town
I thought we'd grow old together
Lord I sure do miss her now

But there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and her tears are pourin' down
that's how you know she's watchin'
wishin' she could be here now
and sometimes when I'm lonely
I remember she can see
there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and she's watchin' over you and me

Well my little girl is 23
I walk her down the aisle
it's a shame her mom can't be here now
to see her lovely smile

They throw the rice
I catch her eye
as the rain starts comin' down
she takes my hand says daddy don't be sad 'cause
I know momma's watchin' now

And there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and her tears are pourin' down
that's how you know she's watchin'
wishin' she could be here now
and sometimes when I'm lonely
I remember she can see
there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and she's watchin' over you and me

Like I said, highly appropriate after standing in the rain for 45 minutes waiting for a lull for us to release the balloons. We all joked that J was sitting at a poker table laughing his a$$ off at us for standing in said rain for him. And yeah, he really would have.
