I know I keep repeating myself on this topic but Ty really does say these things A L L???? D A Y!?? It is almost compulsive like in every conversation.?? How did I get so lucky??? And guess what??? TANNER is starting to offer more affirmations as well now!?? Learning from baby brother.?? Is it too much to hope for to imagine Jim catching the wave??? LOL!<\/p>\n
Ty Quote:<\/strong><\/p>\n (I was walking by his playroom and he hollered this out to me as I passed)<\/p>\n “I am playing my game mommy and I am ENJOYING it!”<\/strong><\/p>\n What must it feel like to love life THIS much??? Wish I could market those kind of happy pills – we’d make a fortune!?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n My brother David tends to be this way as well and I have always noticed that when he is in the worst of spots, it is??love and compassion that bleeds out.?? (Reminds me – I am IN LOVE with Leona Lewis and her song “Bleeding Love”).?? When David has been injured and on pain meds, he is the sappiest most loving person.?? When he is awakened from a dead sleep, he jumps up smiling.?? I think it is incredible to know people that just “bleed” love.?? In Ty’s case, I have to wonder if his OCD tendencies are contributing to this BUT in either case, what a wonderful statement about what pours from the depths of him.<\/p>\n ******<\/p>\n My heart is so heavy and I have been sobbing on and off for the last hour over Maria Chapman.???? Cinderella will never sound the same to me again.?? Please please be praying for The Chapman family.?? (If you haven’t heard yet…Steven Curtis Chapman’s youngest daughter Maria was killed in the driveway at their home last night.?? I just can’t quit crying.?? I have always had this heart connection to Shaohannah, Stevie Joy and Marie.?? In fact, I think I posted once about how often I cry when I see their pictures and have wondered if God wants us to adopt from China (Jim has so far disagreed).?? I keep remembering this morning when Steven Curtis sang at the Paduka funerals and the track of his that I have on our Memorial video of Poppy.??<\/p>\n With Hope<\/strong><\/p>\n (It is breaking my heart that he wrote this song many years ago having no idea that it would be the song of his heart for his own baby girl)<\/p>\n By Steven Curtis Chapman – Maria’s Daddy<\/p>\n This is not at all how We can cry with hope And never have I known We have this hope as an anchor So we can cry with hope We wait with hope
\nWe thought it was supposed to be
\nWe had so many plans for you
\nWe had so many dreams
\nAnd now you’ve gone away
\nAnd left us with the memories of your smile
\nAnd nothing we can say
\nAnd nothing we can do
\nCan take away the pain
\nThe pain of losing you, but …<\/p>\n
\nWe can say goodbye with hope
\n‘Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no
\nAnd we can grieve with hope
\n‘Cause we believe with hope
\n(There’s a place by God’s grace)
\nThere’s a place where we’ll see your face again
\nWe’ll see your face again<\/p>\n
\nAnything so hard to understand
\nAnd never have I questioned more
\nThe wisdom of God’s plan
\nBut through the cloud of tears
\nI see the Father’s smile and say well done
\nAnd I imagine you
\nWhere you wanted most to be
\nSeeing all your dreams come true
\n‘Cause now you’re home
\nAnd now you’re free, and …<\/p>\n
\n‘Cause we believe that everything
\nGod promised us is true, so …<\/p>\n
\nAnd say goodbye with hope<\/p>\n
\nAnd we ache with hope
\nWe hold on with hope
\nWe let go with hope<\/p>\n
