Last night as I fell asleep, I was taking a moment to be grateful for everything 🙏 I thought to myself, please God, I will be surrounded by my children on my deathbed, and suddenly I was flooded by memories from a time long since gone...
When this song first came into my life, it was at the same time that my best friend did. I was in the thrilling beginnings of a new friendship. I had never met another person who was so identical to me in so many ways -- the same kind of humor, at that! 🥺 We bonded over our passion for music, with perhaps this song being the very first one that united us.
That was back in 2016, about a decade ago.
Today, now with a family of my own, the song carries an entirely different meaning for me.
I never imagined that I would be married, never mind a mother, someday... Now, I am married to the love of my life -- my soulmate -- and I would not have it any other way...
Granted, he is nearly 15 years my senior, and I pray that we will continue to spend every waking minute together for the next 50 years (please God), but accepting the reality that he will more than likely pass on before me is very hard...
Hence, this is where my mind was when I prayed that we will be surrounded by our children when death begins to draw near. I have God with me regardless -- I have nothing to fear -- but the dream of being reunited with my husband while our children watch on beside me, is pure bliss...
