I Miss You

The song on the blog today is by Hannah Montana. It is one of Alana's favorites because it reminds her of her Daddy.

You used to call me your Angel
Said I was sent straight down from heaven
And you'd hold me close in your arms
I loved the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holdin me

I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in any while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you
Sha-la-la-la-la
I miss you

You used to call me your dreamer
And now I'm livin' out my dream
Oh, how I wish you could see
Everything that's happenin' for me
I'm thinkin' back on the past
It's true the time is flyin' by too fast

I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow

My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you
Sha-la-la-la-la
I miss you

I know you're in a better place, yeah
But I wish that I could see your face, oh
I know you're where you need to be
Even though it's not here with me

I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you

Alana, I wanted to tell you when I took my girls to see the Hannah Montana Movie and I heard this song for the first time I thought of your daddy. It's one of my favorites now. I'm sure you and your sisters were his angels, and now he is your angel watching over all of you. Your daddy was an amazing person and I'm sure he is very proud of you. I think of you all everyday and I hope to see you girls soon.

Love your cousin Kim DeLisi

I'm so glad Alana has her very own song that she thinks of her daddy. At only 8 yrs old and having sister's 5yrs and 2yrs. old it must be her way of reflecting on what has happened. I can't make any sense or will ever make any sense of Dennis passing away at such a young age. I guess someday I will just have to accept it but if I can understand how something like this happens I couldn't possibly expect my girls being so young to understand. Dennis would think it was so sweet that his 1st baby girl Alana has her own song for him, even though it is incredibly sad. I can actually hear him saying"She's like a teenager now". He would have been so proud of them tonight. I took Alana and Elise and myself rolling skating. They amazed me how well they skated, especially since the last time I saw them skate. After I got comfortable on my rollerskates we all had a good time just they way Dennis would have done with them. Alana is like a little figure skater and Elise is like a olympic speed skater( there is no doubt in my mind if she was a boy she has the same athletic ability that Dennis had. That no fear attitude.)It was very bittersweet for me I kept thinking that Dennis would really be enjoying this. He would have probably really been trying to race them and me too. Like I have said Dennis was always up for a challenge. I think that's why his life while he was here was nothing less then the BEST! We really missed you tonight Dennis. What I would give to see you in a old pair of rental roller skates, skating along side us. We love you, Jodi & the girls oxox

Dear Jodi,

I just bought Hungry for Life Bracelets and I gave one to my mother to wear. I showed her Dennis' great website and she was very impressed and she was sad as well because of how young Dennis was and the beautiful family he left behind. I said Ma why is life so unfair. Dennis should be here with his beautiful wife and children. Why does God take the ones that are so good. She told me you can't question God (I know it isn't fair) but God does things for a reason. The only reason I can think of is like I said before Dennis was so amazing on earth and left such a mark that his mission on life was accomplished way too early because of the way he lived his life and how he taught me to love, be compassionate and to live life to the fullest. He was truly an amazing person and Jodi you are taking his lead and doing everything he would have done and doing it so great just like he would have. You are two special people that God put together because of your love for each other and how this love would continue even after death.

GOD BLESS YOU JODI! Only wonderful things could happen in your life once you get over the pain of losing Dennis. You deserve it and Dennis is smiling down on you and how you are conducting his legacy and the way his lived his life.
