Array ( [sid] => 3768 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Been a Long Time Coming [time] => 2002-09-13 06:08:47 [hometext] => There's absolutely nothing else I can say about this ... [bodytext] => It's been a long time coming

I sit and hold her hand

Been a long time coming

I still can't understand

It's been a long time coming

This disease that eats at her inside

Been a long time coming

For years it's tried to hide

It's been a long time coming

Now it's reared it's ugly head

Been a long time coming

All thru her body it has spread

It's been a long time coming

Turned her world inside out

Been a long time coming

Is this what life is all about?

It's been a long time coming

I wanna scream "This isn't fair!"

Been a long time coming

Becoming to much for her to bare

It's been a long time coming

Her life is being cut short

Been a long time coming

In advance she refuses life support

It's been a long time coming

She prepares her husband and child

Been a long time coming

Told them she loves them as she smiled

It's been a long time coming

Already made out her will

Been a long time coming

So many dreams she didn't get to fulfill

It's been a long time coming

She feels her time is drawing near

Been a long time coming

Her future's becoming crystal clear

It's been a long time coming

Doc's tried everything he can

Been a long time coming

This wasn't part of the plan

It's been a long time coming

Nothing before has prepared me for this

Been a long time coming

To cancer, I will lose my Sis

Ouch -- This brought tears to this old parson's eyes. As a clergyman I know rather mre than is good for me about death and dying ... spent too many long nights by the bedside of a dying friend. My kids lost both granfather to cancer -- long before they were born, All this has taught me that there are no easy answers, no answers at all just Hope and Love and courage which your Sis seems to have in spades---
