My old coach used to take all of the pictures of her kids for the entire year and put them in an album. She then chose a song that was appropriate for that year to write at the bottom pages of her photo album. Since this blog is my photo album, I thought I would try something similar. I am not going to re-post every picture, geez that would be ridiculous. But I have decided to choose a song that wraps up each year of our lives.
I chose the song, "For Good" from the show Wicked because my life really has been changed for the good because of my sweet boy. Of course, not all of the words in the song pertain to our lives or our situation, but the majority of the song says what I want it to say. Because I know you Cash, my life has no doubt been changed for the better.
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made from what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
Love,
E
