Brett & Kem We have not known you both a long time but what we did learn right away was that you were two parents that loved your son fiercely. We have two other lifelong friends who lost their only son when he was twenty five. The wisdom they would share with you is to lean into each other hard and welcome the flood of memories that will flow into your hearts and minds over the next few months, years, and decades to come. God will reveal to you a new purpose and also a way to continue to honor Josh and use his well lived life in special ways. My dad loved George Strait's music and I found this song and lyrics when he left us. I wanted to share it with you in loving memory of your only son and best friend. You Be There: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0DIC59eCes Lyrics: Hope is an anchor and love is a ship, time is the ocean, and life is a trip You don't know where you're going, 'till you know where you're at And if you can't read the stars, well you better have a map A compass and a conscience, so you don't get lost at sea Or on some ol' lonely island, where no one wants to be From the beginning of creation, I think our maker had a plan For us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand And let the good light guide us through the waves and the wind To the beaches in a world where we have never been And we'll climb up on a mountain, y'all we'll let our voices ring Those who've never tried it, they'll be the first to sing Whoa, my, my I'll see you on the other side If I make it And it might be a long hard ride But I'm gonna take it Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer Let the weather take me anywhere But I know that I wanna go Where the streets are gold 'Cause you'll be there Oh, my, my You don't bring nothing with you here And you can't take nothing back I ain't never seen a hearse, with a luggage rack So I've torn my knees up prayin' Scarred my back from fallin' down Spent so much time flying high, till I'm face first in the ground So if you're up there watchin' me, would you talk to God and say, Tell Him I might need a hand to see you both someday Whoa, my, my So I'll see you on the other side If I make it And it might be a long hard ride But I wanna take it Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer Let the weather take me anywhere But I know that I wanna go Where the streets are gold 'Cause you'll be there Oh, my, my 'Cause you'll be there Oh, my ,my Songwriters: Cory Mayo
