And, they're off.
Rosie's in 1st grade and Sadie's in her 1st year of preschool. I'm not one of the mamas that jumps for joy when school starts back up- I like having them around. But, they love school and it's a great place for them to be and so I let out the deep sigh and let them go.
We're big theme song people. We love Coldplay and U2, we like the wisdom and theology according to Pittbull and Christina Aguilera in Feel This Moment, and we love Philip Phillips.
One of our family favorites is Gone, Gone, Gone.
It was Ron who applied it to a parent's perspective.... read between the lines.
Gone, Gone Gone
by Philip Phillips
When life leaves you high and dry
I'll be at your door tonight
If you need help, if you need help.
I'll shut down the city lights,
I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe
To make you well, to make you well.
When enemies are at your door
I'll carry you away from war
If you need help, if you need help.
Your hope dangling by a string
I'll share in your suffering
To make you well, to make you well
Give me reasons to believe
That you would do the same for me.
And I would do if for you, for you.
Baby, I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
When you fall like a statue
I'm going to be there to catch you
Put you on your feet, you on your feet.
And if your well is empty
Not a thing will prevent me.
Tell me what you need, what do you need?
I surrender honestly.
You've always done the same for me.
So I would do it for your, for you.
Baby, I'm not moving on,
I love you long after you're gone.
(this is Rosie and Sadie's favorite part. Sadie jumps. Rosie does an African drum and dance thing)
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum my heart never stops beating for you.
And long after you're gone, gone gone.
I love you long after you're gone, gone, gone.
