Hold On- Sarah McLachlan

I knew that I wasn't going to be able to blog much, if at all over the holidays while I was out of town because none of my in-laws have computers or internet connections, so I hoped that I would have a great deal to write about when I got back. And I do. Just not what I thought I'd be writing about. This holiday was much more awful than I ever could have predicted and I'll write more about it soon but I wanted to put up a quick post and this song popped into my head as I was getting out of the shower today so I thought I'd share it with you. If the story I heard was right, Sarah McLachlan wrote it after watching a documentary about a woman who's boyfriend or husband was dying from AIDS complications, though I think the woman herself was HIV-. But I think it can be applied to a great many situations. Enjoy the song. I'm going to try to clean up/ organize/ consolidate some of my husband's stuff so that my family can actually use the exercise room. I figure he won't mind me moving it all around so that he can't find anything, especially since he won't be back for at least 9 months.

Hold On- Sarah McLachlan
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
You know that only time will tell

What is it in me that refuses to believe
This isn't easier than the real thing

My love
You know that you're my best friend
You know I'd do anything for you
My love
Let nothing come between us
My love for you is strong and true

Am I in heaven here or am i...
At the crossroads I am standing

So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
See another day and we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Across your face

Oh God if you're out there won't you hear me
I know that we've never talked before
Oh God the man I love is leaving
Won't you take him when he comes to your door

Am I in heaven here or am I in hell
At the crossroads I am standing

So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
See another day and we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Across your face...

Hold on
Hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell
