My precious little Titus sang this song almost every day when he was little.
He pattered all over the house singing it right after he learned to talk.
He got it from me because I sang it to all my little cozy baby bundles.

To the People I've Met along the way...
The ones who took the time to encourage a stranger as they saw a young mom who had her hands {extra} full...
The ones who lived in the houses around mine when I was a kid; I learned life lessons by your examples...
The ones who are called a Church Family- you took two young lovers in and helped us create a strong foundation...
The ones I call friends {then and now} who feel my bad days and celebrate with me on my good days
The ones who took time to raise me and train me, igniting my passion to learn and founding my confidence {both of you}...
The ones who cradled me through the intense pain of my terrible times a few years ago {I will always be grateful to those ones}...
The ones who I call family who are always a constant in my life, forever standing by my side...
The ones that I live for every moment who are within the walls of my home {all four of you}...
The one who is my partner for always, who thinks everything I do is amazing, even when it's not and who loves me passionately
The ones who are in my life now as we all move forward together in this journey of life... {YES, that's you if you're reading this!}
...those are the ones whose hearts I hold in my hands.
Thank You...really.
The Sunshine is out there, you just have to look.
In fact, it's probably shining on your face right now.

I love that song! That is so sweet that you sing to your boys. I'm sorry you went through tough times. I wish I could've been there for you. I hope you know I value you as a friend and am here if you ever need anything in the future!
ReplyDeleteso beautiful... and so important to appreciate those around us. I appreciate you too- hope I can be 1/2 the mom you are!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great post with an encouraging and inspirational message. So true- the sunshine is always out there!
ReplyDeleteoH THE MEMORIES YOU BROUGHT BACK! My Dad used to sing this song to us when he would get us up (not often maybe once a week or so). He would flip the blinds so they would clatter up the window as he was singing that song! Sure wish I could hear him sing that one more time- lost him 5 years ago but he gave alot of good memories to keep him near!

This is a great post for a melancholy day. Also, my kids love "You are my sunshine." It's the song that always comforts them and gives them what they need (whether that's a shot of happiness or a reminder that they're loved).
