    I couldn't help but cry as I listened to this song! My 17-year-old leaves in a year. I have terminal cancer, and the two years he's gone will probably be during the time that I pass away. Two years for him will be the rest of my life for me.

      +Kathy H I'm soooo sorry! Oh that makes me so sad. My step dad passed of cancer, so I can relate. Stay strong for him, and know that Heavenly Father has a plan for you. I love you, and I hope you see this soon. My brother is 17 and he turns 18 next month and he's going on his mission at the end of this year. Him and I are so close, and we've been inseperable throughout the rough life we had to live, ever since I can remember. Stay strong!

    I remember this song from when I was a teenager 💜 Now my baby brother leaves on his mission tomorrow and this song came to mind. I’m not a member of the church anymore but wow is this a powerful song. I wish him nothing but the best as he serves the people of NYC. Two years without him will be super hard, but I hope he has a good experience and comes back having learned a lot about himself and about the world. Beautiful song!

    My boyfriend left on a mission 5 months ago. Now I'm going on a mission in two weeks. I pretty much listen to this song every day. Showed it to my family for FHE. Sobbed through the whole thing.

    nothing is harder for a parent than having to let their child out of their embrace but listening to this song reminds us that maybe letting them go will allow them to return as stronger members with an unwavering love for the lord.

    He gets set apart tomorrow as leaves on Wednesday. This is the song I have been bawling my eyes out to. Plus his mom made a slide show of us using this song and played it at his open house. I am so proud of the man I have, but I am going to miss him more than anything these next two years.

    Remember the first time I heard this masterpiece I was in a car with other elders in my district driving back from a long day of work and one of the elders played this and everyone kinda just sat there missing home but it was such a great moment to share with them and just remember that we were absolutely doing the best thing we could ever be doing.

    Her little boy has grown up so fast She looks back in our happy time that has past now, 18 years old and he's ready to go Sharing his light in God's love with the world. She always known that at staying was at hand. Now it's finally him she just stares at his back Wear a few white shirts and long black coat
    Saying "Two years is a long time for me. to be here without you it's hard to believe, but I know
    Setting his suitcase with the letter she wrote.
    Saying "Two years is a long time for me. to be here without you it's hard to believe, but I know it's the right thing and I'll miss you dearly." Young girl just 18 years old wasn't quite ready to see her bestfriend go. For 730 days she tried to hold him back but her tears gave way. Saying "Two years is a long time for me. to be here without you it's hard to believe, but I know it's the right thing and I'll miss you dearly."
    Cardboards up. the time is now. To say goodbye for two years they didn't know how. He got his bags, tears were shed with a heart full of love he said... "Two years is a time for me, to give back for i owe each breath that I breathe. It's only a small thing when you look at eternity."

    I literally- only ten minutes ago- just said goodbye to my older brother as he leaves to go serve in the Belgium/Netherlands Mission. I came to listen to this song to find comfort and I have. Such a good reminder that two years- 'it's only a small thing, when you look at eternity'. Families can be together forever.

    This song brought me to tears. Carlin's voice is beautiful anfd the lyrics touching. I have a son that passed away 5 years ago that is serving his mission on the other side of the veil. I have a lifetime before I see him again, but I know that he is serving valiantly. I also have my only baby brother serving a mission in Arizona right now and he has been there a year. I miss him so bad, but 2 years to a lifetime is a short distance considering eternity! Thanks for putting this into perspective!

    I just wanted to tell you as a pretty developed musician myself...this is just freaking gorgeous! I have 50 days now till I report to my mission in Brazil, and I just wanted you to know that I keep listening to this song over and over again just thinking about my mother, my sisters and another important girl in my life. I can't wait to serve the Lord and his children even though it'll be hard to say goodbye for so long, but I couldn't have expressed this better than you have, so I thank you.

    Her little boy has grown up so fast
    She looks back in awe at the time that has past
    Now 18 years old and he's ready to go
    Share his light and God's love with the world.
    She'd always known that this day was ahead
    Now it's finally here and she just stares at his bed
    Where a few white shirts and a long black coat
    Sit in his suitcase with a letter she wrote
    Saying
    Two years is a long time for me
    To be here without you, it's hard to believe
    But I know it's the right thing
    And I'll miss you dearly

Now, I'm an 18 year old girl and my best friend is leaving in less than two weeks, and I have never related to a song more. 😭😭 Thank you for sharing, even if the full effect came several years later.

    But her tears gave way
    Saying
    Two years is a long time for me
    To be here without you, it's hard to believe
    But I know it's the right thing
    And I'll miss you dearly
    (Ooooos and Ohhhhs)
    The car pulls up
    The time is now
    To say goodbye for two years
    They didn't know how.
    He got his bags
    Tears were shed.
    With a heart full of love he said
    Two years is the time for me
    To give back

    For I owe each breath that I breathe
    It's only a small thing when you look at eternity.

    I was doing fine until they showed the real pictures of the missionaries, and then tears flowed. We have two out right now. It's a wonderful thing!

    If you could put the sheet music link up that would be fantastic! I'm sure plenty of people would willingly pay for it, I know I would!
