My Favorite song
My favorite song of all time is by Sara Evans and its called No Place That Far. This will always be my top favorite song of all time and always will be because it speaks directly to my soul.
I can't imagine, any greater fear
Then waking up, without you here,
And though the sun, will still shine on,
My whole world, would all be gone,
But not for long,
If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls,
Always know that I will find a way, to get to where you are,
There's no place that far
It wouldn't matter why we're apart,
Lonely minds or two stubborn hearts
Nothing short of God above
Could turn me away from your love
I need you that much
If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls,
Always know that I will find a way, to get to where you are,
There's no place that far
Baby there's no place that far
The reason why this song touches me so much is because I could have written it myself. I am a birthmother who was given no choice but to place my beloved first born child up for adoption. This song from the first verse where it says I cant imagine any greater fear then waking up and your not here was my reality for 18 years not knowing if my baby was okay was being loved and cared for properly or even alive.The rest of the song tells about my search for my daughter as I always knew I would one day find her. I had made that promise to Jess the last time i saw her when she was just three months old. With most of the states in the USA having closed adoption laws I knew it wouldnt be a easy feat to find her but it is something I had to do for her and for me as well. I was one of the very lucky ones and was able to reunite with my daughter. If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls,
Always know that I will find a way, to get to where you are,
There's no place that far Baby and Im so glad I found you Jess.
I met Gretchen Wilson
I am a country music and was delighted to meet her.As most of you know I work for the Key Training Center at a group home for devlopmentally disabled adults and every year there is a concert that attracts big name country music stars and they do a benefit for the Key........well this year Gretchen Wilson and Blake Shelton put on the concert and I got to meet talk to and welcome Gretchen Wilson when she came to a meet and greet at the Key Center our clients sang her a song and then they line danced to one of Gretchens songs and she joined in with them and my clients didnt miss a beat I was so proud of them and was glad to see gretchen is a nice lady. She is very personable very very down to earth I wasnt nervous in the least bit. She didnt look famous at all lol just like a ordinary lady. I sure wished that Blake would have shown up but then Id have made a danged fool out of myself drooling that boy is a beauty

Happy Birthday BethieD
Happy Birthday Beth
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
and each road leads you where you want to go,
and if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
if it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but you never forget,
all the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
and you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
and always give more than you take.
But More than anything, Yeah, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish. Yeah.
