Derek was stuck at an airport in Montana. He was staring out the window at the heavy snowfall thinking," I have to go home soon." He decided to rent a car since no flights were going out, then he called Casey.

"Hello," She said as rested in bed.

"Hey baby I'm gonna get there as soon as I can, just hang on best you can," Derek said climbing into the car.

The snow in Montana was three feet high

The lady at the counter said: There ain't no flights

And so he called her on the telephone

He said: I'll rent a car and I'll drive home

"Don't worry Derek I'll try as hard as I can to wait for you to get here, just like I did at Christmas last year," Casey said remembering back.

And she said: I'll wait for you

Like I did last year

At Christmas time with your family here

And your truck broke down out in San Antone

And the gifts stayed wrapped until you got home

Oh, this ain't nothing new

Sweetheart I'll wait for you

"Casey I miss you so much and I love you so much," Derek says straining not to cry because he can't be with her when she needs him most.

Now he's on his cellphone in a Coupe Deville

Talkin' to the one he loves and always will

His heart is breakin' 'cause she's there alone

Her heart is achin' 'cause she wants him home

"I'll wait for you Derek just like I did when Matt was born remember that," she says tearing up.

"How could I forget I came in just in time to hear him cry," Derek says reminiscing.

"See you soon baby you should get some rest I love you," he says as he hears her yawn.

"Ok honey I love you too," Casey says as she hangs up the phone.

She says I'll wait for you like in '68

When our child was due, but I said, he'll have to wait

Until his dad gets here and stands by my side

Remember, Dear, our son's first cry

Oh, this ain't nothin' new

Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

As Derek drove home all he could think was," I gotta get there before it's to late." When he finally got there he ran to her room, but on the way the doctor stopped him.

"Mr. Venturi your wife died earlier this evening she's in a better place now, she told me to give you this note in case you didn't make it in time."

He didn't stop all day to eat a bite

And he finally got there around midnight

The doctor said, she's in a better place

She said to give you this note just in case

When Derek opened the note he hit his knees and began to cry. He hadn't made it in time to say good bye, quietly to himself he said, "I love you Casey."

The funeral was held on a Saturday morning. For the eulogy he read the note to that loved her.

And it said, I'll wait for you at heavens gate

Oh, I don't care how long it takes

And I'll tell Saint Pete I can't come in

Without my love and my best friend

Oh, this ain't nothing new

Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

P.S. I love you too

Sweetheart I'll wait for you

As the funeral ended Derek sat there at Casey's grave and realized that no matter how alone he may feel Casey is always gonna be with him.

"I'm miss you and I love you so much," he said standing up and turned to walk away when he heard, "I Love You too Derek." When he heard those words it brought a smile to his face.
