It's difficult for me to chose just 5 songs that have meaning to me. There are so many songs that bring back powerful ways of emotions/memories. If I had to chose, here would be my top 5 (as of today):
1. There Goes My Life by Kenny Chesney (see below)
2. On Eagle's Wings (my Grandpa's funeral)
3. Amazed by Lonestar (My husband and I's first dance)
4. Baby got Back by Sir Mix a Lot (crazy girl nights out during high school)
5. Good Riddance (Time of your Life) by Green Day (The Song I live by/ will be played at my funeral)
I wrote this during a free write a few years ago:
There goes my life--
When I saw that beautiful dark haired, blue eyed baby looking up at me, so many emotions and thoughts ran through my head. What had we been thinking--how are a couple of kids going to raise this baby? How am I going to go to college with a six week old over 100 miles away from any support or family? Maybe our plans were a little naive---Is my life over??
There goes my life
There goes my everything..
Might as well kiss it goodbye
There goes my life
Six years later, she is my life. Between soccer practice, church school, and countless hours practicing to tie her shoes and read, she has become what I look forward to seeing everyday--I see me in her.
