My Broken Road

I woke up this morning with this song in my head. I remember when I first heard it - my baby girl was only a month or so old and as we were riding in the car, I was overwhelmed to the point of tears. I know the lyrics are "romantic" in nature; but they seemed to fit our mother/daughter situation as well. After struggling with infertility, miscarriage and adoption disappointments, here she was. The dream in the car seat, smiling back at me and making every bad moment that had happened along the way, worth it.

This song is my tribute to HJ, and to her birthmom, M. I wouldn't be this happy, if it were not for you. The words "thank you" are never going to be enough.

I also think of it is a tribute to my wonderful husband, D. Sometimes, we never take the time to really tell the ones we love, just how much they mean to us. I am guilty of this, getting caught up in life's little details and forgetting the bigger picture. I was reminded, just today, of how much I love my husband, and just how fortunate I am to have him in my life as my provider, my protector and my dearest friend. So, honey, when you read this, this song is for you as well. Never forget how much I love you!

God Blessed theBroken Road
I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love
along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream
Lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart
They were like northern stars
Pointing me on my wayInto your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Thanks Rascal Flats!

We are off to the mountains, have a great week!
