Song Dedication To Vicky

I have been singing a couple of songs in my head to keep my spirits up and to help my own emotions heal after loosing a dear friend.
One is "Because Of You", it's a praise and worship song that we sing in church and the bridge says:
"We're Jumping, Shouting, Dancing, Spinning, Singing...There's Freedom."
I keep seeing Vicky, jumping, shouting, dancing, spinning and PRAISING!
For as long as I knew her, she had health problems, and she is FREE! What a thought! For someone who had so many health issues for so long to be able to run, jump, dance, anything she wants! It's an awesome picture to have in my head!
Sure, I'm mourning my loss, but PRAISING even So Much More because I KNOW what Vicky is doing right now!!!
Hey, I just thought, "I wonder if she's found Papa yet." For those that don't know, my mom had a dog. It was THE UGLIEST dog you've ever seen! But boy did he love Vicky and she loved him. He went home to 'doggy heaven' over 12 years ago and we all were very hurt. But Vicky can walk over to 'doggy heaven' and find him. The Lord says, "We will be reunited with our loved ones."
Getting off track...
Jeremy Camp came out with a song called "There will be a day". Tuesday morning on my way home from work, he was being interviewed by Air1 and talking about why he wrote this song.
It made me really think of Vicky. So here is my 2nd song dedicated to Vicky...

Victoria Jo Hutchinson

Granted to this earth on May 13, 1957. Went home to be with her Heavenly Father November 15, 2008 at 9:30 a.m.
I've known Vicky for 22+ years.
Vicky was the first friend my mom made when my Grandpa moved us out here to Banning. My mom and Vicky hit it off and since Vicky had a daughter my age, it made it even better.
Jessica and I went to school together & Vicky would always welcome my mom, brother & myself into her home. We had MANY ups and downs, but Vicky was ALWAYS there.
There is SO much to say about Vicky, but I will keep it short and sweet...
Vicky was a woman that you couldn't help but love.
She was an EXTREMELY loving person, she was devoted to her church, friends and family. She was one that you could depend on, when she said it, she meant it. She would do what she could, no matter what her body told her. She would push through and be someone you could always count on.
As I reflected today and tried to think of all the great things that would keep my spirits up, I couldn't help but think of all the holidays and events that will be coming upon us and we won't see Vicky, sitting in a chair, doing what her body would allow her to do.
I am proud to not only call her my friend, but my second mom! I am SO blessed that not only was she so close to me, but to my children too. They loved Vicky and the memories that they will have will be embedded in their minds also. Vicky was really anticipating the birth of our new baby, and I am sad that this baby won't know her, but I know with a death, there is always a birth.
I thank the Lord that I had such a WONDERFUL woman in my life! She taught me many things that I will always cherish. She will eternally be in my memories.
Until I meet you again in the Heavenlies Vicky...I Love You!
PS, tell Bob & Barbara we say Hi!
