Disclaimer: I do not own CSI: or How can I help you say Goodbye which is sang by Patty Loveless.
Through the back
window of a '59 wagon
I watched my best friend Jamie slippin'
further away
I kept on waving 'till I couldn't see her
And
through my tears, I asked again why we couldn't stay
Mama
whispered softly, Time will ease your pain
Life's about changing,
nothing ever stays the same
Rylee watched as the car kept going down the road. "I don't want to move!" cried Rylee from the back seat.
"I know, honey, but you will make more friends in Houston." Her daddy, Nick said as they turned out of the neighborhood.
"Come here, baby" her mama Sara said.
And she said, How can I help you to
say goodbye?
It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry
Come, let me
hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye?
"It will all work out for you babygirl."
I sat on our
bed, he packed his suitcase
I held a picture of our wedding
day
His hands were trembling, we both were crying
He kissed me
gently and then he quickly walked away
I called up Mama, she said,
Time will ease your pain
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays
the same
"Mama?"
"Rylee? What's wrong baby?"
"He's gone. I don't know what to do!"
And she said,
How can I help you to say goodbye?
It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to
cry
Come, let me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to
say goodbye?
"It will all work out for you babygirl"
Sitting with
Mama alone in her bedroom
She opened her eyes, and then squeezed
my hand
She said, I have to go now, my time here is over
And
with her final word, she tried to help me understand
Mama
whispered softly, Time will ease your pain
Life's about changing,
nothing ever stays the same
Sara Stokes was the ripe old age of 70 years. The love of her life Nick Stokes had passed on a couple of years before.
"Mama?" came the soft whisper of Rylee.
Sara opened her eyes and smile at Rylee.
And she said,
How can I help you to say goodbye?
It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to
cry
Come, let me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to
say goodbye?
Rylee stood in front of the graves of her parents.

"Mama?" Came the voice of her own daughter Grace.
"Yes, baby?"
"I miss Maw Maw"
Rylee smiled and looked down at Grace.
How can I help you to say goodbye?
