Two Years

At the Top
I know your life
Sometimes was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren’t afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain

Go rest high on that mountain
Allan, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin’
Love for the Father and Son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered ’round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels’ faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

Go rest high on that mountain
Allan, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin’
Love for the Father and Son

    Rough day, no doubt. Thinking of you.

    Time goes by so, so fast. It seems like yesterday when you, I and Alan sat in that room enjoying each others trials and tributes. Rest knowing Karen it was not lost on any of us and that I will always be there for anything that needs to be done. What a loss and yet I would not have traded the experience for anything! God Bless you.

    I’m sure the grass is stirrup high for him while we are still thawing out down here. My prayers are with you as I remember my own mom as I’m sure she’s saddled up and riding along as well. Love ya!

    Oh, Karen, so much has happened since then but we still miss him. I think he would be very proud of the way you have managed on your own. Chin up and know that we all love you.

    Hi Karen, best wishes and fond memories…

  12. Karen Says:

    My prayers are with you. He is missed so…..and remembered always.

  13. Linda Says:

    This has to be a hard time for you. Hugs!

  14. Todd Says:

    My thoughts are with you, Karen.

  15. Kate Says:

    Your tributes are always so poignant. A friend of mine said this recently when she lost her sister: “Grief is just love that has nowhere to go.”

  16. threecollie Says:

    Oh, Karen…such a hard thing. I will be thinking of you….

    It’s only my deeply held belief that Allan could still kick my skinny arse in, that I don’t bug you as often as tempted to. (Nor try to borrow money, shoe polish or a cup of anything that pours.) Keep the faith, Kookla! And, if you find mine, keep that too!

    Two years is just the blink of an eye … I lost my father six months ago and that hurts me every day.

    My thoughts go with you and keep loving those calves. There isn’t anything finer on this planet than baby cows … well, maybe puppies.

    Hugs to you.
