No one could ever fill a song with words to express what missing you truly is, but I hope it continues to comfort those of us who miss loved ones. I hope something I have done over the past 24 years has made you smile. I miss you "DT." Love, love, love Michelle L. Myers

LYRICS The holidays this year won't be the same They're no presents with your name again. The snow will fall outside, but it can't hide The pain I feel inside of me

New Years Eve, my heart still grieves I remember the way you smiled at me Valentines Day, my heart went away But in my dreams, I think of you Your love was true.

CHORUS This year, I live for you Now that you're gone This year, I'm gonna live it for you There's nothing else I can do.

2nd Easter morning comes, I thank God for His son Who rose to give me hope this day Children laugh and play, what can I say I wish that they were you, you and me

Fourth of July, as fireworks fly I remember, the fire in your eyes Thanksgiving Day, can't believe you went say But I'm thankful I have the chance to say, to say

This Year I'm gonna watch the sun rise I'm gonna see the ocean, as it sweeps towards the sky I'm gonna hear the children's laughter, a new born baby cry I wish you were here...THIS YEAR
