Tear Jerker


WOW, I have so much I want to say,,,,,,,,ALL IN ONE BLOG!!! But I have to narrow it down somehow!
There is this song,,,,,,It is by The Crabb Family (who I LOVE!!) A guy at Church sings it and I CRY MY EYES OUT EVERYTIME!!!
Everytime he sings it, I "get onto him"!!!

Well, he sang it on Father's Day! I cried and cried and cried,,,,,,,,,,All I have to do is sit down and start reading the lyrics and I start tearing up,,,,,,

Here are the lyrics,,,,YOU will understand what I mean,,,,,,(and then I want to ask a question??)


Was That Only Yesterday?


Your first bike, you were surprised
Your first wreck, how you cried
But you got up, you were OK
Was that only yesterday?


That big yellow bus stopped at our drive
You climbed in, this time I cried
Your first ride to school, you couldn't wait
Was that only yesterday?


(chorus)God sent you to me but it wasn't long
I turned my head one day and you were grown
We sure made some memories that time could never erase
Was that only yesterday?


Your first room, how it changed
From Winnie the Pooh to teenage things
There at your bedside you learned to pray
Was that only yesterday?


Your first love, her first diamond ring
A wedding gown and pretty things
And how you were smiling as you drove away
Soon you'll have your own yesterdays (repeat chorus)


We had fun making memories that time could never erase
Was that only yesterday?
Was that only yesterday?


OK now here is my question:

When Jeff sings this song in Church, and I am sitting there crying my eyes out, I look around and all the younger women,,,,,,,Let's say maybe 45 yrs old and younger,,,,THEY are all crying with me!!! On the other hand, the OLDER LADIES are sitting there with DRY eyes! What's up with that???? Is it because they have "been there, done that"?? They have already experienced that part of their life, so they are not so sensitive to it anymore??

Maybe their kids left and came back home and never left again......lol. Just kidding.
I don't know. I guess after a lot of time has passed it doesn't hurt so much. I still remember the day Matthew left and my heart skips a beat and I still cry everytime Jonathan leaves..lol. Who knows! Maybe they can't hear the lyrics?
