Lights were flashing, sirens were screaming, Grandpa was in the back of an ambulance for a 2-hour high-speed ride to the twin cities, and I was 2000 miles away. When my mom called me with the news, the world seemed to stand still. This was the real deal. His condition had gotten worse, and this was urgent. Who knew how it would turn out? I scrapped my plans (band rehearsal) and headed to my church to be alone. I needed to think. I needed to pray. And then the words/tears came flowing out of me… “If you were to fly out of my life, where would I be?…” I began to reflect on Grandpa’s life… “There were good times; there were bad times…” Life isn’t easy, but Grandpa’s example taught me to always trust. Oh, what I would have given at that moment just to see Grandpa one more time! …There’s a small amount of people who we share a deep connection with. Where would we be without these people in our lives? As I finished up the first verse I thought about my parents, and as I started the second verse my thoughts turned to my wife. “So, here we are; don’t know how we got here. Somehow we did it, somehow we made it this far…” It took me a few more days to put on the final touches, and I still can hardly sing this song without getting emotional. That experience hit home, and I hope this song hits home with you and that you share it with those who you love the most! Don’t take any day or anyone for granted! (FYI, Grandpa pulled through!)
