Hey everyone, I hope the Holiday weekend has been a safe one for ya.
Here is something a little different I have made for you.
These are my newest Blogger Backgrounds but this time I have included with each one
the background from which I made it, kinda a two for one. LOL
My Blogger Backgrounds are 1800x1600 and as always they are free for you to download
and use as you wish, just don't claim them as your own.
Your little hand's wrapped around my finger And it's so quiet in the world tonight Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret I'd give, all I have honey If you could stay like that
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little Oh darling, don't you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple I won't let nobody hurt you won't let no one break your heart And no one will desert you Just try to never grow up, never grow up
You're in the car on the way to the movies And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off At 14 there's just so much you can't do And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots But don't make her drop you off around the block Remember that she's getting older too And don't lose the way that you dance around
in your PJ's getting ready for school
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home Remember the footsteps, remember the words said And all your little brother's favorite songs I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone
So here I am in my new apartment In a big city, they just dropped me off It's so much colder that I thought it would be So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on
Wish I'd never grown up I wish I'd never grown up Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up I could still be little Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up It could still be simple
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little Oh darling, don't you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple Won't let nobody hurt you Won't let no one break your heart And even though you want to, please try to never grow up
This is Haley and she is sitting at the grave of a very dear friend name Petey. She is touching his collar that has been place around his grave marker. Petey was an Australian Shepard/Border collie, he was the best dog and he was killed in an accident on March 9, 2012.
I got this shot the other day while we were outside, I was a good distance away from her,
she didn't know I that I had taken it until later that evening.
I wasn't going to post it due to the fact that she is crying and it just seemed like a personal moment that she was having with her friend. Yesterday though, Haley asked me when I was going to post it and I explained to her why I hadn't yet and why I was apprehensive about doing so at all. She said "Mom, it's ok, I want you to post it, there is nothing wrong with everyone knowing how much I loved Petey".
My daughter is so beautiful .
The lyrics below are from the Song "Over You" by Miranda Lambert. We were watching the video to this song when we got the news that Petey had been killed. Every time the song comes on the radio now, I see her taken back to that night when she lost her friend. Haley and Petey were close, they spent a lot of time together. For those who do not know, Petey belonged to our friends Rick and Raeanne, they live on the same property as us, about a hundred feet away is all. Petey was part of our family too and he is missed more than words could ever express.
Weather man said it’s gonna snow
By now I should be used to the cold
Mid-February shouldn’t be so scary
It was only December
I still remember the presents, the tree, you and me
But you went away
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I’ll be OK
But I’m not going to ever get over you
Living alone here in this place
I think of you, and I’m not afraid
Your favorite records make me feel better
Cause you sing along
With every song
I know you didn’t mean to give them to me
But you went away
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I’ll be OK
But I’m not going to ever get over you
It really sinks in, you know, when I see it in stone
Cause you went away,
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I’ll be OK
But I’m not going to ever get over you
Until the day when the phone begins to ring and all of her friends call and occupy her time....
I will enjoy being her first friend and the one she always wants to play with.
Until her days are filled with trips to the mall, concerts to see and dances at school....
I will look forward to each remaining day that we get to spend, just the two of us, in the garden, coloring in books and watching Disney movies over and over again.
Until that guy walks through our door and sweeps her off her feet and every single second after her mind is filled with him....
I will love being the center of her universe and hold my status with honor.
Until the very day that she becomes that 'all grown up girl' I know she will be....
I will cherish every single second that I have with the 'little girl'.....she is today.
