I laid in bed before getting ready for work thinking of the song by Celine Dion because so many of her words always make me think of you, the one called "Because You Loved Me" and even though that song is 11 years old, I couldn't believe it when that song started playing on the radio on my way to work. I knew mom.........I just knew that somehow it was your way of letting me know you were there with me. So I'm putting the words to the song here because they are so beautiful just like you:
For all those times you stood by meFor all the truth that you made me seeFor all the joy you brought to my lifeFor all the wrong that you made rightFor every dream you made come trueFor all the love I found in youI'll be forever thankfulYou're the one who held me upNever let me fallYou're the one who saw me throughThrough it allYou were my strength when I was weakYou were my voice when I couldn't speakYou were my eyes when I couldn't seeYou saw the best there was in meYou lifted me up when I couldn't reachYou gave me faith 'cause you believedI'm everything I amBecause you loved meYou gave me wings and made me flyYou touched my hand I could touch the skyI lost my faith, you gave it back to meYou said no star was out of reachYou stood by me and I stood tallI had your love, I had it allI'm grateful for each day you gave meMaybe, I don't know that muchBut I know this much is trueI was blessed becauseI was loved by youYou were always there for me, the tender wind that carried meThe light in the dark shining your love into my lifeYou've been my inspiration through the lies you were the truthMy world is a better place because of youI'm everything I amBecause you loved me
