She loved me...






(HINT: Before you press play and listen to the song, you have to go down the right hand side of this page and press stop or pause on the music that automatically plays on my blog!!!)
Little did I know, when I chose this song as the song my soon to be EX-husband and his groomsmen would walk down the beach aisle to, that it would turn into a love song for our daughter instead of each other. Ironic that she was actually already rolling around and kicking in my belly on that very wedding day 3 plus years ago. And NOW, it's our unofficial little Mama & Bellabean anthem for life.

This song has special meaning NOW more than it ever did then. It makes me think of my sweet girl and be grateful for her unconditional love and the many daily gifts she has given me and everyone around her. The ability to smile every single day, laugh at myself, and love fully and unconditionally just to name a few.

Toy story is her favorite movie. Jessie is her favorite character. In fact I just tossed that exact Jessie doll into her toy box five minutes ago. And every time I hear this song, I don't shed a tear for the past and what's been lost but instead shed a tear for the present and the future and how much love we are so lucky to have in our life. What a difference one breath, one second, one day, one choice can make in your life.
