I've listened to this song a lot lately. I know it's the song for Twilight, but it has a different meaning to me. My heart's been pretty tender the last week or so, lots of little things that bring back lots of memories. This song gives me hope, and makes me long for the sweet reunion we'll have with Graham someday. I've loved him for a thousand years, I'll love him for a thousand more.
A Thousand Years
Christina Perri
Heart beats fast
Colors and Promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
what's standing in front of me
Every breath, Every hour has come to this
One step Closer
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
All along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years,
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
A few weeks ago Libby told us she had a loose tooth. I didn't believe her, she wasn't old enough, but sure enough it was starting to wiggle. Well a few weeks pass and it's ready to come out, but the closer the tooth got to coming out the more nervous Libby got for it to fall out. This tooth has literally been hanging by a thread for days now and she wouldn't let anyone touch it. I finally told her today that I had to tie a piece of floss to it before she could watch cartoons. It was a big ordeal to get that piece of floss on but we did and after "gently" tugging on her tooth it finally came out. She's been so proud all day. I honestly can't believe that she's old enough to lose a tooth. So hopefully the tooth fairy makes it tonight.
Mike and I have been married for nine years. Busy raising our kids, Mitch, Libby and Claire, and our angel baby Graham. Journaling our events as we go through this adventure called life.

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity."
