The Music of my Soul

Yes, I figured I would open this blog, like almost every other one with pictures. I began to realize that there are very few pictures on here of Lily and her daddy. So here are some new ones. She LOVES her daddy, she has him wrapped around her finger!

It's moments like this that I am going to miss most!

Look...its a bird...its a plane...no...its my SUPER LILY!
Here she was propped up on my legs
She has assumed the position....great...crawling, here we come!

So, as many know, Lily and I LOVE music. Music is what got us through her second surgery, when I couldn't touch her, when I couldn't talk her, the music I played talked to her and calmed her in a way I couldn't. Most of the music that I play for her is Christian music so I believe the Lord Almighty is not only present because of all of our prayers, but he reaches through the music also. Lily and I dance around the living room when she can't sleep. She looks into my eyes while I gaze into hers, and I will sing to her as we sway to the music. She will be my child that shares my passion for music. I pray she has the voice of an angel, one that I was never blessed with, but still pretend that I can sing. I hope she has a voice that will make up for the lack of things that she can not do.

Where am I going with this....sorry...a little side tracked...listening to music...the music I wanted to share with you. If you have seen the CHD Awareness Video Montage I created called "Imagine....Life of a CHD Parent" then you will whom I am refering to. The singers name is Plumb, she released a Lullaby cd back in 2007 called Blink. The most popular song off the cd is called, In My Arms" Beautiful song, but I recently was able to listen to the WHOLE cd. It moved me to tears! There are 2 songs on that touched me to my core, the first one was, God will Take care of you. It is a hymn that many know, but a new style to it that is beautiful. Also the second song is called "My Sweet, My Lovely" I have to say, this is now my song to Lily. I am going to included the Lyrics below.

This is a link to a site where you can listen to a clipit of the song.

I tiptoe
Hush hush...
Pitter pat
Goes my heart...
Your beauty
Your innocence

Joy is found
With every kiss

My sweet, my lovely
My sweet, my lovely
So sweet, so lovely
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes

I stare into
The bluest eyes
Time stands still in
Your smile
You weren't there
And now you're here

I dreamed of you
But I never know how...sweet and lovely

My sweet, my lovely
So sweet, so lovely
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes

My sweet, my lovely
My sweet, my lovely
So sweet, so lovely
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
