This Ain’t Goodbye
Take a moment this Memorial Day
To remember those who fought for our freedom
And to celebrate the lives they lived
Take a moment this Memorial Day
To remember those who never came home
So that we could
This Memorial Day take a moment
But never forget…
I’m Gonna Miss You

The song “I’m Gonna Miss You” was originally written in 2013 right before I left to go to Infantry Officer Basic Training in Fort Benning, GA.   I originally wrote it to my family as a gift and to say goodbye. I was scared at the time, not knowing what the future held, and knowing that joining the Infantry meant there was a chance I could would be deployed, and moreover that I could die.  On the first day Justin and I met, I played “I’m Gonna Miss You” as we were exchanging our originals. He liked it, and he never forgot about the song.
 
I never thought that I would be releasing “I’m Gonna Miss You” as a tribute to Memorial Day, until after our first deployment. The song took on a whole new meaning after we lost some of our soldiers in 2014. I can remember the wave of fear and the eerie silence that filled the air after all was said and done. I know Justin felt it too. He says that his entire company was different after. Not more than six hours earlier they were sitting right there in that chair laughing.
