'How to Save a Life' always makes me cry, but have to hear it

Posted over 5 years ago
When I first heard this song I couldn't believe all it had within it that relaterd to me. Perhaps it is my own perception, but this song breaks my heart yet I can't stop listening. July 7th 2006 I 'Lost A friend that night' who was a son to me as well as friend. I keep thinking about if I had stayed up with him all night he would still be here. But the next day I found in in bed gone from me. How to save a life? I realize it wasn't meant for me to, but that IF is so great. He came home to me to spend his final days. And I think somehow he knew this would be it. For the day before I found him he poured out his heart and told me all he felt towards me and my family. Our last words were 'I Love you' and then I went off to bed. Two days later I heard his computer running, and found an email he had started to me. He must have felt bad, laid down and waited for the angels to carry him home. There was no cause found for his death. I was told he shouldn't even be dead by the patholigist. So I am left with no peace about how he went. Yes it was his time, but I need an answer as to how it happened. I still hear him laugh, call my name. I see his smile. And know forever he lives within me. So to The Fray, thank you for this song, tho it makes me cry everyday, I think the tears will help in healing. And to you Ronnie, my precious son, yes, you will always be my baby. I will honor your memory in every way I can. Semper Fi

  3. SeekingJoy says When we lose someone they are not physically with us but forever they live on within us. And no one can take our sweet memories of them away. They are amongst the gems in the tresure chest of our hearts. I lost Ronnie in July, yet I speak as if it was just yesterday. I know because of how close we were to eachother it will never heal. But I also know with each day it will get easier to go on. As for tears over him, they will be for always. Tho I try to keep it private now. For if I am upset everyone here is. I have a wonderful family whom I live for. And we are so close and open to sharing the things in our lives. Hey, I was doing that dinner table thing long before it made TV. Those were times when we talked of anything the kids had on their minds. And I let my kids express themselves, and led them when needed. I also have quite a few heart adopted kids. Some that live with me still. And I am mom to them. I just love people and want to be loved. One of my biggest hang-ups is realizing not everyone will like me. I guess because I except people for who they are, I want the same. But life is a adventure. and with each day we find something new to smile about, laugh over. Each morning I can't wait for sunrise for in it is new hope. I live in Tuscon and God does some of His best artwork in our sunrises and sunsets. You could stare forever at them. and they always make me want to sing. Okay, I 'm strange. But that's okay too. Good night all!
