One of my favorite songs

Dear Boston,

I have a new song that I sing to you and you seem to like it. It's called "Fix You" by Cold Play. This song is very special for me because it was a song I listened to ALL the time during a really hard time in my life. I had just moved back to Seattle to move in with Uncle Erik and Aunt Jodi. I hadn't lived in Seattle since I was 14 years old, but it was definitely time for me to come back home. I was so sad, but all of my siblings (near and far) and parents and nieces and nephews were all there for me to help remind me of who I was and and who I could be. I would listen to this song with Uncle Erik, or listen to it at Jen's house while I would play with Isabel. Aunt Kaz and I listened to it on her bed when I visited her in Indiana and just cried. I would play this song every time I went on a date with Isabel, Luke and Mercedes and the kids would sing along. This song is a favorite of Uncle Erik's, and is also Isabel and her Dad's song together. This song holds very special meaning for me, and now it is my song to you. This song constantly reminds me of the love and support my family have for me and I feel that love every time I hear it. I hope you feel that same love from me and Dad every time we sing it to you. Here are the lyrics...

When You try your best but don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what your worth

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
Tears stream down your face
and I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I'll learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
and I

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and I will try to fix you

Love,

Momma
