Good News and Bad News

The good news is that I got a Sony Ericsson K700i phone with all the bells and whistles. I never used to care much about phones, but I've changed phones twice in the last month. Haha. The sound quality is fantastic, and I loaded up the phone with games.

The bad bad bad news is that: I am sick. I have a horrible sore throat. gah.

I thought this song was really sweet and touching, by Colin Raye:

I read a note my grandma wrote / Back in 1923 / Grandpa kept it in his coat / And he showed it once to me / He said boy you might not understand / But a long long time ago / Grandma's daddy didn't like me none / But I loved your grandma so

We had this crazy plan to meet / And run away together / Get married in the first town we came to / And live forever / But nailed to the tree where we were / Supposed to meet instead / I found this letter and this is what it said

If you get there before I do / Don't give up on me / I'll meet you when my chores are through / I don't know how long I'll be / But I'm not gonna let you down / Darling wait and see / And between now and then / Till I see you again / I'll be loving you / Love, me

I read those words just hours before / My grandma passed away / In the doorway of the church / When me and grandpa stopped to pray / I know I'd never seen him cry / All my 15 years / But as he said these words to her / His eyes filled up with tears

If you get there before I do / Don't give up on me / I'll meet you when my chores are through / I don't know how long I'll be / But I'm not gonna let you down / Darling wait and see / And between now and then / Till I see you again / I'll be loving you Love, me

Between now and then till I see you again / I'll be loving you / Love, me.
