Four years Later....
Once before I go
I want you to know
That I would do it all again
I'm sure I'd make the same mistakes
But I could make it through
The pains and joys and aches
I knew back then
I'd do it all
I'd do it all again
Before I go
I want you to know
That I look back with no regrets
And when our luck was wearing thin
And we were down and out
And still came back to win against all bets
Now when I look back
I still have no regrets
And it's so hard to say good-byes
When there's so much that's left
Unspoken in your eyes
But unless I spread my wings again
I'm afraid I'll never soar
So hang on to the memories
And hold me close once more
Once more
Just once before I go
I want you to know
That I have loved you all along
And even when we're far apart
I only need to feel you're living in my heart
And I'll be strong
Love you just the way
I've loved you all along
And it's so hard to say good-byes
When there's so much that's left
Unspoken in your eyes
But unless I spread my wings again
I'm afraid I'll never soar
So kiss me for the last time
And hold me close once more
Once more
Just once before I go
I want you to know
That I have loved you all along
And even when we're far apart
I only need to feel you're living in my heart
And I'll be strong
You are the light that shines on me
You always were and you'll always be
So I had to let you know
Just this once
Just this once
Before I go

Damn it, you've got me crying again Amy...
You'll be spreading your wings and soaring, but we'll be hopping and flapping away back here on the ground. You've inspired us. Loved us. Looked over us. And if we should ever reach your heights, oh what a glorious reunion it will be.
The idiom is "You meet your life-long friends in college."
Thanks for shining the light of truth not only to that saying, but everything and everyone you encounter.
Love,
Your Little Bro
Ok, I was gonna say something, but Doug pretty much stole the words right out of my mouth. I love you Mama!

you have no idea how much this reduced me to tears originally. even looking back on it 3 or 4 days later, i get sad. i know that you will 'soar' away from here, and i'm so proud of you already. just don't forget your baby, k?
love you
