This song is on the back of my grandma's headstone. It was very hard to lose her. This song made sense because her own mom died when she was just 3 years old, my grandma died at the age of 89. It's that part of the song that helps me realize she is complete now.

[@QueenBee-hk9xl]

THIS WOMAN MAKES ME CRY!!!!!!!! I FEEL HER SO DEEPLY AND THIS SONG IS SOMETHING I CAN SURELY RELATE TO AS MY DAD, STEP-MOM AND BIOLOGICAL MOM IS GONE. I LOVE HER SINGING!!! IT IS SO DEEP!!!!!! AND HEARTFELT!!!!!

My aunt died almost two weeks ago. We had the best relationship and we were close. I told her everything. She was so cool and I always looked up to her and wanted to have the relationship she had with God. And how her and God have a strong bond brings joy to my heart to know she is finally home. I will miss her so very much.

[@janicethomason2053]

Listening to it right now,its hard cause I just buried my 1st cousin a week ago due to cancer! No more pain or doctors,but it still hurts! She was more like a sister then a cousin! Praise God she is now in his presence!
