“Journee wake up.” I hear. I swear seems like I just went to sleep. “Journee Tristan is waking up.” My body jolted up and I rushed over to him.

“Hey sweetie are you ok. Do you need the nurse?” “No, I’m just ready.” “Ready” “I’m tired.” Ethan and I looked at each other. I looked in his eyes and my heart begin to break.

“No baby boy you’re going to be alright I promise. You just need to let your body heal then you will be back to normal.” “I have to tell Jesus thank you. It took a long time but I finally have parents.”

Before I knew it, I begin singing the same song I sang right before my mom died. Ethan held his other hand while I sung ‘Tis the old ship of Zion.’ When we heard, the machine blaring loud. Tears stung my face. I stop singing to whisper in his ear as the nurses and doctors ran in. “Tell my mom I said and Hey. She will take care of you now. Kiss my son tell him mommy loves him.”

“I love y’all” he said lowly looking at Ethan and I who was now behind me to move me out the way. Ethan pulled me to the out the way when I fell to knees and said he’s gone.

It is the day of Tristan’s grave side services. I am not sure how many people are going to be here. I was beyond shocked when his mom said she wasn’t going to pay for anything because she doesn’t have the money. Journee, Curtis, and I paid for this I left heading to the cemetery. 

“As we say our final good-byes let us not forget that Tristan is not with Jesus now and he will be watching over us all. This is just is body. He left to go be with the Lord and I’m happy about that even thought my heart is still broken.” 

“I believe when Tristan got saved he wondered what it would be like. I’m going to sing this song because he was imaging now he is living it.”

I can only imagine what it will be like

When I walk, by your side

I can only imagine what my eyes will see

When you face is before me

I can only imagine

I can only imagine

Surrounded by You glory

What will my heart feel

Will I dance for you Jesus

Or in awe of You be still

Will I stand in your presence

Or to my knees will I fall

Will I sing hallelujah

Will I be able to speak at all

I can only imagine

I can only imagine

I can only imagine when that day comes

When I find myself standing in the Son

I can only imagine when all I would do is forever

Forever worship You

I can only imagine

I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory

What will my heart feel

Will I dance for You, Jesus

Or in awe of you be still

Will I stand in your presence

Or to my knees will I fall

Will I sing hallelujah

Will I be able to speak at all

I can only imagine

I can only imagine hey ya ah

Surrounded by Your glory

What will my heart feel

Will I dance for You, Jesus

Or in awe of you be still

Will I stand in Your presence

Or to my knees will I fall

Will I sing hallelujah

Will I be able to speak at all

I can only imagine

I can only imagine hey ya ah

I can only imagine yeah yeah

I can only imagine

I can only imagine ey ey ey

I can only imagine

I can only imagine when all I will do

Is forever, forever worship You

I can only imagine.

After singing I didn’t realize I had tears fallen down my face. After I prayed some left and some stood around talking then left. Journee watched as he got lowered in the ground then walked over to grave before putting the dirt on his coffin she dropped six white roses on top then I see she had a picture of us that was taken at the hospital she dropped it on top and begin to cry. Curtis got her and walked her to her car. My heart broke
