Anyway, onto the rest of the blog post...
Today has been another busy day entertaining the very well behaved children staying with us. They really are a couple of fantastic kids who get along so well together and behave beautifully!
Last night I was in bed watching American Idol and one of the contestants sang a song called "If I die young", I had never heard it before (you can see it *here*. The lyrics are incredible, at least I think so... some of the lyrics:
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me a way with the words of a love song
Lord make me a rainbow,
I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colours
Oh, and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby.
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
Funny, when you're dead how people start listening
So my new favourite song for the moment! It just touched me really. I love that we buried her in satin, laid her to rest on a bed of rose petals and farewelled her with what could be classed as a love song I guess but we just thought it described her perfectly (Bruno Mars - Just the way you are). I love that her farewell was such a special celebration of her life, even if it was so short! And I am still so grateful to everyone who helped make that day what it was! We weren't in a state to do it, so we are lucky to have had people around who were able to take our ideas and ramblings and random outbursts of thoughts and turn it into exactly what we wanted! And thank you to everyone who came...
So ended a good (tiring) day with an even better evening! The fantastic Brenz and Rach came round (with dinner) and stayed to talk and catch up for ages! It was great! Thanks guys! Lets do it again soon!!! And to make it even better... Luke surprised me with a new cell phone tonight! :D Completely unexpected!
We are not going to church in the morning, because there is baby dedications happening, and while I love that this gets to happen, and am happy for those there with babies to dedicate, I don't think I could be there for it when we should be there too with Lily. So yes, also one of the kiddies with us has chicken pox... so no going and infecting everyone!
Anyway, today I am thankful for
~*~ Brenz and Rach! Great food and great company! ~*~
And the positive from the day...
~*~ My new phone!!! YAY!!! ~*~
Sarah. :)
