Is It Over Yet

It was my Papaws birthday yesterday and I wanted to do something special for him. So, I decided to be a real downer and remind him of every time he broke this little girls heart by flying home.

My mom was only 17 years old when she had me. She lived at home with my mamaw and papaw and her 2 sisters. For the first few years of my life my papaw was the only father I ever knew. He loved me like I was his own. I have always adored him. When my mom married my dad, we moved from Indiana to Pennsylvania. It was then that I experienced incredible loss. No step parent could ever replace the love and attention you receive from an adoring grandparent. I went from seeing him a few times a week, to a couple times a year. I can remember a time when we lived in Pennsylvania that my grandparents came to visit. They had been working in China for a few months and were home on furlough. My papaw would lay on our couch for hours a day watching old westerns. After they left, I spent days barring my face into that pillow breathing in his scent. Just his scent made me feel safe.

When we lived in New York, I was around 9 years old..I had a dream one night that while in school I looked out the window and saw my papaw pulling into the school and getting out of his truck to come in and get me. The school bell rang and as I rushed to the hall, so did the rest of the school. I could see him at the other end of the hall looking for me, but he couldnt find me in the sea of children, so he turned to leave. I remember screaming for him in the hallway but he never heard me. That was such a vivid dream that I have never forgotten. Days later, I got off the school bus, on the last day of school before summer....I looked up to see my papaws truck in the driveway, he had come to get me. It is hard to explain, but there was a feeling of relief as I drove with him from New York back to Indiana. It is the same feeling I get if Mike leaves for a couple days and I worry like crazy about him. The second his car pulls into the driveway....relief. It was the same exact feeling. Life was so good when I was with hm.

There were several times in college that he and my mamaw would fly out to New Mexico and stay a couple days with me. There was always the feeling of dread knowing that I only had a couple days to soak them up as much as possible and then I would have to let them go again. I have spent an entire lifetime asking "Is it over yet?" I just wanted to make this video and let him know that I have never enjoyed saying goodbye to him. Every time he got on a plane to head back to his home away from me..broke my heart! I will never be truly happy until he lives in a decked out double wide right next door!

Papaw, I hope you feel awful about not looking for a retirement community here in Charleston! But, until you do I will come visit you in Sunny Florida! I miss you everyday..even when I am forgetting to call. I hope you had an awesome birthday. I love you more than life!

That Was beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please repost the song with a better face shot, and really let it out you have a wonderful voice!

You are enchanting...

[GrannyPanties30]

Hmmm..A better face shot? I am trying to find the best way to take that comment. I am unsure with whether to be flattered or offended. =) I am glad you liked the singing though! Please come back and watch more videos..maybe some of them have better angles.=)

[mistical54]

You should be flattered by that comment. I can see what they are talking about, I would like to see your whole face, Your so pretty, and you can sing! Awesome

[GrannyPanties30]

Thank you so much!! That was sweet! I appreciate you stopping by and building my self esteem! =)

[squeezixmud]

Great voice, stunning presence! Get out of the bathroom (closet?) and get to a studio with some decent sound equipment!!

[GrannyPanties30]

I wish I could!! I am still trying to figure out how to hook a mic up to my computer so I can try and get better sound when I make Youtube videos. But, I do appreciate you coming by and being so sweet!

To follow up my first comment (below) I need to say lol I had no idea you were called Kitty, that you had been an actreas, etc. You just show who you are with each lyric and note. Subscribed, and I want to recommend Eva Cassidy, Trisha Yearwood and most of all new originals! Find a band! Best wishes!

[camerrill]

I don't know what I expected from the thumbnail, but I love Wy's version so I tried yours, too, and Whoa! Those big kitty cat eyes and that sincere and heartbreaking interpretation just brought a lump to my throat that I had to fight all the way through. When one guy said you had to "let go and let it out," I disagree. In some situations one struggles to remain in control, but your real feelings pour out through your eyes. You should be a singer and actress!

YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL WOMEN AND A FANTASTIC VOICE "BUT" GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM AND RODO THIS OVER PLEASE..

[shakeitloose1]

Also, someone must've accidentally hit the "don't like" button. I did and was able to correct it.

[shakeitloose1]

As long as I can see your eyes...they are truly the windows to your soul!!

[thedavago]

@GrannyPanties30 Wow what a voice!!! As to whether you should feel flattered or offended - FEEL FLATTERED. I think what wchaydel was referring to was the fact that the camera angle didn't capture all of your face - - you are beautiful.

[snrav3r]
