I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better
And because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good.
Happy 67th birthday, Susan. I love you and miss you <3

I knew Susan from a very early age. She was originally my "big sister" from the Big Brothers Big Sisters program my mother had enrolled me in when I was 8 years old. Susan became the greatest mentor I've ever had in the shape of a mother figure. She made a drastic impact on my life as a whole and I would be a FAR far worse person today if it hadn't of been for her.
I'm sorry for your loss, though I know such a wonderful lady has got to be in a better place now. I'm sure she watches over you still, and always will keep you in her heart. That song does sound like it fits you both so well. I love the image too...it's a wonderful dedication to her.
