oh everybody knows the love
everybody holds the love
everybody falls for love
everybody feels the love
everybody steals the love
everybody heals with love
just let the love, love, love begin
I feel inspired . . . and usually when I feel inspired it is because I find a song that strikes a cord in harmony with the feelings of my heart. Music is a way I like to express myself emotionally. Music is my voice when I struggle to find the words. I have been very blessed in my life. I have a wonderfully loving, husband that provides all of the safety and comfort in my life. He is the love of my life. I have 5 thriving, beautiful, loving, talented children that enrich, fulfill, and bring such great meaning and purpose to my life. I have been blessed and influenced greatly by my amazing parents that have loved me through my dark pain and rejoiced in my triumphs. They are such a loving example of what it is to be in love, love ones family, work hard, and to play together.
I know that my Father in Heaven has never given me a trial that He knew that I couldn't bear. That is when you have to find the strength to endure it one day at a time. Looking back on my life now if given the chance to change the past . . . I wouldn't change a thing . . . all the sadness, all of the suffering in silence, all of the heartbreak . . . has given me a better appreciation for each tender mercy that my Heavenly Father has touched my life. That I may better understand someone else at war with the decision to place their baby for adoption, that I may better understand their pain and their sorrow. And at the same time that I may feel their joy when they marry a good man and start a family all their own. The joy in that baby that they are going to hold forever in their arms.
Happy is the heart that still feels pain
Darkness drains and light will come again
Swing open your chest and let it in
Just let the love, love, love begin.
That being said I am so grateful to David & Mary for being my light in my darkness. They are the best parents to the baby I placed. When all I had was love, they gave her the life I always wanted for her. They were always meant to be her parents . . . and I was always meant to be the woman that gave her a family.
Without pain how can I have true joy? David & Mary have given me the gift of their love. They have allowed me and my family into their hearts and welcomed us into their lives. They have allowed us to be apart of their family. We are so grateful. They have healed my once broken heart with such great LOVE. I am truly BLESSED.
I have a testimony that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet and that Thomas S. Monson is our prophet of God today. I know that families are forever. I know that I have a loving Father in Heaven. I know that Jesus Christ died for me that I may return to live with Him. I know my Heavenly Father & Savior have always been so merciful and mindful of me. These things I leave with you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
to: David, Mary, Emma, & Sam
I want you to know that our time there spent with you guys is something so special. I have many memories to look on with sweet fondness. Mother to Mother, Mary you are amazing! I love you so much!!! I have such an admiration for you that grows with each visit, each letter, each picture. My heart is FULL! I can't thank you both enough. You are such kind, loving, and generous people. I loved every minute of our time together. To watch the kids together was a new kind of wonderful. I don't think that there are words created to convey the beauty of watching Jolee and Emma together. . . To see Emma wake Kylee from her sleeping beauty slumber. . . To watch her fascination with baby David as I watched her watching him. . . It was nothing short of amazing! My words may betray me or falter. . . but I am so grateful, Thank you. I really did pick the BEST parents in the whole wide world that were perfect for her in every way. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, for everything!
P.S. I love you the most!
for those of you who want to sing along with me
. . . . . this is for you ~Sara
