All of Me

I was driving to school Saturday morning and a song came on the radio that had me in tears. Matt Hammitt is the lead singer for the band Sanctus Real. He is also a husband and father to a child who was born with a heart defect. This is a song he wrote a few weeks before his son Bowen was born.

All of Me

Could I move on, if you were torn away?
I'm so close to what I can't control
I can't give you half my heart, and pray it makes you whole

You're gunna have all of me, you're gunna have all of me,
Cuz you're worth every fallen tear, you're worth facing every fear
You're gunna know all my love, even if it's not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts, giving you all of me is where I'll start.

I won't let sadness steal you from my arms
I won't let pain keep you from my heart
Trade the fear of all that I could lose, for every moment I share with you

You're gunna have all of me, you're gunna have all of me,
Cuz you're worth every fallen tear, you're worth facing any fear
You're gunna know all my love, even if it's not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts, giving you all of me is where I'll start.

Heaven broke into this moment, it's too wonderful to speak
You're worth all of me, you're worth all of me
So let me recklessly love you, even if I bleed
You're worth all of me, you're worth all of me

You're gunna have all of me, you're gunna have all of me,
Cuz you're worth every fallen tear, you're worth facing any fear
You're gunna know all my love, even if it's not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts, giving you all of me is where I'll start

You're gunna have all of me,
Cuz you're worth every fallen tear, you're worth facing any fear
You're gunna know all my love, even if it's not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts, giving you all of me is where I'll start

From The Heart

It's been nearly 4 months since Jack's trach was removed, and I am so proud of the progress he has made! Jack has always done everything at his own pace, and I have learned to be patient... very very patient. He always seems to 'beat the odds' but now we have to face his biggest obsticle... LIFE.

I am going to be brutally honest, mostly for myself but also to let others see in to my heart.

Everyday I pray for a miracle.
Everyday my heart breaks.
Everyday I hold Jackson and wish I could take his place.

I try to live day by day, and not think about the future.
I try to give my heart a break and put a smile on my face.
I try to be happy.

I will never label Jackson as disabled.
I will never stop loving him.
I will never give up on him.

I wonder what life would be if things were "normal"
I wonder if he will go to college.
I wonder if time heals all wounds.

I know that Jackson is happy.
I know that He is loved.
I know that God has a plan.
