Today is Tanner’s eighth birthday.?? Going to hijack Aimee’s song and dedicate to Tanner today.?? It’s 12:09 AM and he can’t go to sleep so we are both sitting here listening to this.?? Tears are streaming down my face while singing along with Aimee to my boy.?? At the end of the song, Aimee plays the first few lines of a timeless lullaby and it brought back memories of all the years I would break down crying to hear any children’s songs.?? I wanted babies more than I ever wanted anything else.?? Fast forward eight years and I guess I haven’t quit crying over it.?? Now they are joy tears.
Posted copywritten song with permission.?? Lyrics and Music written by (my SIL) Aimee Zimmermann – performed by Aimee.

Happy birthday precious Tanner. Doni now you got me crying about you crying. I am so honored you dedicated my song to him:). Thank you everyone else and Debbie, I know exactly what that feels like…sometimes you just need a good cry!
Doni–I’ve never left a comment on your blog before, but I’ve followed so long. We are celebrating my daughter’s 8th birthday tomorrow (her birthday is actually May 29). Thanks for sharing Aimee’s song, it is beautiful. I do often just look out of the window at her playing in the backyard and can’t believe how fast she is growing up.
Happy Birthday, Tanner.
