Mama's Song

I like to pretend that the hardest part of moving to New England was leaving my cute niece and nephew (only one at the time), but the reality is that leaving my mom (and best friend really) was the hardest part. We've always been close, but since 2004, we have been especially close and I grew more and more dependant on her. We were a tough pair to break up and there was a lot of hurt on both ends. The last couple of years were full of a lot of emotions as we worked through this big change.  But through it all, Mom has been a support and has loved me and prayed for me. One of her prayers over those years was that I would find a good husband who would love me the way a husband should.  She has always said that David was everything she prayed for. She just forgot to pray that he lived in Texas!

The first time I heard this song I loved it and Mom did too. It's so "us".  And even though I'm 35 and not 21 like the song "feels", I'm still her little girl in so many ways. I put this video together for her. Thought some of you might enjoy seeing it too. I love you Mom. Thanks for everything - but mostly all your prayers over the years!
