See You Again

Back in 2005, Chele and I had just settled into a new house in the woods in Round Rock. We enjoyed watching TV at night and especially liked watching reality TV like Survivor and American Idol. This is the year that Michelle became a huge Carrie Underwood fan. Carrie was a wholesome country girl that reminded her of herself. Carrie had a beautiful voice and was humble and kind. It brought me so much joy to watch Chele through the years, singing her songs as they were released. In April of 2013, I surprised her with tickets to a show. I’ve made her happy before, but I remember the joy in her heart that night as she sang each song loud and proud. I remember the awe in her eyes as Carrie’s stage lifted and moved over our heads. It was a memory she held onto forever. Carrie would have loved Chele. They would have been great friends. Chele would have been “Mama Luck” to her. It's been some long days without you, my sweet Chele. We all love you - still.

See You Again

It's been a long day without you, my friend

And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

We've come a long way from where we began

Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
