Life or Something Like It

Life SHOULD NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well- preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally WORN out and screaming "WOO HOO - WHAT A RIDE!!!"

Shelli,
I know you know this song. But read it again.
Everytime I hear it I cry.
It makes me feel so bad and so good at the same time.
I always think of my Sydney.

It always puts EVERYTHING in perspective.

In my daughter's eyes
I am a hero
I am strong and wise,
and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I want to be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes
Everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light
And the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
Gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger
Oh, it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hanging on when your heart
Has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes
I can see the future
A reflection of who I am
And what will be
And though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see
How happy she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

She was sent to rescue me

You are the best friend ever Barb. You really are. I dont' know when you sent me my box but I got it today. It might have been there a few days ago, because I havent' gotten my mail in a while. And I had a day that I don't think I can describe right now, but I SO needed that box. And I promise to do it and let you know what happens. In short, Jon boy got his wisdom teeth out last week and has since gotten an abscess and took way, I mean W A Y too many meds and got himself a bit on the nuts-o side. Called me up as he was having a panic attack at 3 this am and I talked him down. It was too reminiscent of my days with well, you know. And I was having a rough day, have the day off tomorrow, and there in the mail is my box. So I ate a chocolate egg and am going to relax tonight when I get home. Am at K's now, he's moving this weekend. I will write you again but I wanted to say thank you so much for my box and I love you. Will check in later. Nic

I had that song on my blog awhile back and I can't figure out how to get the code to put it back...

YESSSS that song brings me to tears every time. There are a few others, I've actually made a cd of songs. The one we used to sing together was by Phil Collins from the Disney Tarzan movie, "You'll be in my heart." We always used to sing that together and she called it "our song" when she was REALLY little...very sweet.

Carly Simon has a good one too- "You're the love of my life" great song.

You are indeed a sweetheart...
