Who You’d Be TodaySunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
I still can’t believe you’re goneIt ain’t fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I’ve been through
Just knowing no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder who you’d be todayWould you see the world, would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Some days the sky’s so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
I know it might sound crazyIt ain’t fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I’ve been through
Just knowing no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder who you’d be todayToday, today, today
Today, today, todaySunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know I’ll see you again somedaySomeday, someday

This song has moved me every time since Jack died. I get it.
Even though Jason was 19 years old when he died and we could really appreciate the wonderful young man he had become, there is still a strong sense that he – and we – missed out on his future, graduation, getting married, finding his life’s work, having a family, loving his babies. It’s a great loss.
I had only recently heard this song, but it speaks volumes, doesn’t it? I’m sorry you are in a position to “get it” and I’m so very sorry for the death of your Jack.
Thank you for commenting.
