We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in 2008. Our children helped us celebrate with an all expense paid all arranged vacation In Hawaii.

TIME TO SAY GOODBYE is the second song on my music play list (If it is not playing you can go to the side bar and click on it). All of the music I have on my blog has special meaning to me.
1998 was a year of goodbyes for my family. Charlotte and I had gone from Scottsdale to Stockton, California to be with her aging and dying parents. Just before we left to return home we received a call from a niece in Los Angeles saying that if we wanted to see her sister before she died we needed to stop by there on our way home. We immediately made plans to go to L.A.
Driving down interstate 5 we were listening to some of our favorite CD’s when TIME TO SAY GOODBYE came on. This beautiful song by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli brought tears to our eyes. We had learned to love this song before our sadness and we loved it in our sadness—broken hearts and all. The words of this song and our having to say, “Goodbye” somehow cemented us to this music.
Yes, it does make me sad when this song starts playing but my mind is also filled with precious memories of all the good times before the goodbyes and I can smile through my tears.

My sound on my computer is broken. I wish I could listen to your favorites. Especially "Time to say Goodbye". Music is almost the only thing that can make me cry. Once in a while I belive I need a good cry but it just doesn't happen.
I hate those Goodbyes.
