Dare You Not To Cry
Alex came running into the house last night asking if he could play with his friend. I ask him who he was? He has never asked to go anywhere or play with anyone without Emma with him. He pointed across the street and I saw one of the cutest kids ever. He was this husky type of kid with over sized clothes. I asked Al was his name was and he told me Alex. Al and Alex.....way to cute! Alex is in 4th grade and goes to the same elementary school as Al. I was watching out the door and saw my only son making friends. What a site to see. Here was this little boy, who is always afraid of people making fun of him, making friends by himself. I am so proud of my son. He has come so far. I think back and remember all the horrible things the doctors said. "He will never be potty trained" (age 4) "He will never talk" (first words 'I love you') "He will never be in a "typical" class" (Al's in main stream and is a straight A student). All these things that they told me he would never do, he has done with gusto. Alexander is a true inspiration to me. If it weren't for him I have on idea where I would be.
Just read the song and you'll understand everything. I dare you not to cry. I always do.
Because you loved me.
Celine Dion
(Diane Warren)
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
