When this song first came out, my husband was obsessed with it! Had to get the CD immediately! Right after that, we took a trip and he played this song over and over. He sang along with it every time! ( he has a beautiful voice). 12 years later I had this song played at my husband’s memorial service. Going to be 8 years soon, and I still cry every time I hear it.

Two things to remember about this song. One it is autobiographical. It was an experience Ronnie Dunn had growing up. Two, Ronnie Dunn is a believer. Raise my hands bow my head (ancient prayer posture), I am finding more and more truth in the words written in red, in many bibles the words of Jesus are printed in red print. It is easy to get lost in the tragedy of the song, Mr Wrigley losing his family and the young boy losing Mr. Wrigley. However, if you are a believer than you understand that it is through death we gain eternal life. Thus Mr Wrigley is re untied with his family that has gone before him and even the young man discovers that he too will once again "see" and enjoy the friendship of Mr Wrigley one day. "you know I am more and more convinced the longer that I live that this can't be no this can't be no this can't be all that there is...So I raise my hands bow my head..."

He was much older then myself, but we become the greatest of friends, 26 years of a great friendship. My father left us, when we were young, and harry my beloved friend, was a father figure to me. Seen me graduate, graduate from college and get married. Harry pasted on to be with his beloved wife in heaven. Wow, this song, just brings great memories, and so much joy to my heart. Love you Harry, RIP - you are always in my heart.
