I was listening to this song today on pandora:
"She's sitting at the table, the hours get later
He was supposed to be here
She's sure he would have called
She waits a little longer, there's no one in the driveway
No one's said they've seen him
Why, is something wrong?
She looks back to the window
Suddenly the phone rings
A voice says something's happened
That she should come right now
Her mind goes to December
She thinks of when he asked her
He bent down on his knees first
And he said"
"I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together
Forever and always"
"She pulls up to the entrance
She walks right to the front desk
They lead her down a million halls, a maze that's never ending
They talk about what happened but she can barely hear them
She tries to keep a straight face as she walks into the room
She sits by his bedside, holds his hand too tight
They talk about the kids they're gonna have and the good life
The house on the hillside, where they would stay"
"Stay there forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly"
"We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether rich or for poor or for better
We'll still love each other, forever and always"
"Then she gets an idea and calls in the nurses
Brings up the chaplain and he says a couple verses
She borrows some rings from the couple next door
Everybody's laughing as the tears fall on the floor
She looks into his eyes, and she says"
"I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether happy or sad or whatever
We'll still love each other, forever and always
Forever and always, forever and always"
"She finishes the vows but the beeps are getting too slow
His voice is almost too low
As he says, I love you forever, forever and always
Please just remember even if I'm not there
I'll always love you, forever and always"
-Forever and Always by Parachute
I know it's not exactly the same situation as mine, but I feel exactly the same. I love Carmody - I was with her through the good, the bad and the ugly. Even though our time together on Earth was short, I know that through the Atonement of Christ, everything will be made right and I can be with her forever.
A good friend who still diligently works at the front office shared this song with me...thought I would pass it on.

Also, her marker on the hill is very beautiful, having seen it for myself on Saturday. You will have her forever and always. I have no doubt of that. God be with you, Mike.
