...for my mother and my father. I'm up late, happy but a little emotional now that I have picked out the two country songs I will dance to with each of my parents (we grew up listening to country music). I couldn't get through the first few seconds of the songs without tearing up, and sobbing throughout them. I think that's just when it hit me. It's an intense, indescribable and quite overwhelming feeling. I once heard that your parents are your first love, as you are the first they you see when you are born.

Dad's Song..........'I Loved Her First' by Heartland
Mom's Song........'Mama's Song' by Carrie Underwood
I grew up in a divorced family when I was very little, but I know that my parents did the best they could to give us a happy childhood. I love them both very much. Sometimes I wish things could have been different, but hey, there's a purpose for everything. The important thing is that we are alive, well, and together. I got an e-mail from school about girl at CBU who died in her sleep when she was home, and I always wonder when my last breath will be. I have breath in my lungs and am living another day. I am thankful for that today. God, thank you for giving us this fragile breath. Thank you for these heart beats. Remind us what is more important daily. I just want to wake up, thanking you I'm alive and able to have another day to to love...
