My Little Man

It's raining and the temperature is cool. Being wrapped up in a warm blanket and watching a movie is the best place to be on days like today. Except...at one point in my life I would have expected TWO little boys to be snuggled up to me. (BIG kids are at school) I am grateful for the blessing of the one that is curled up next to me. I am grateful for the one that is snuggled up to our Heavenly Father. But...after all a Mama's heart does ache for the absent opportunity to snuggle them both in my arms.

I attempted to get a distraction today so I went to the library. I checked out a CD of music for the kids. I stumbled upon this song. I've never heard of it before but the lyrics seem as though they were written for me about my little Jeremy.

My Little Man by Kirk Whalum and Rev. Bill Lawson

They told me you'd only stay awhile
But never will I forget your smile
I hold you
You'll always be my child
You're a part of me

The moments were few but oh so sweet
They warm me and make me feel complete
To know that we again someday will meet
You're a part of me

But I can't be unhappy
Abba made me see
I'll never be the same
Since you were here with me

Unspoken
But near and oh so real
The feelings are sometimes hard to feel
I love you
I know someday I'll heal
You're a part of me
You're a part of me

I think I'll give in to the grief for a little while today...
