My Wish For You...

Dear Ryleigh:
We are in the home stretch now sweet girl, 8 more weeks. I cannot wait to meet you, sing to you, hold you, kiss you, smile with you, laugh with you, and grow with you. You have an amazing little brother who loves to sing to you every night and always hugs you. Your father is a wonderful man who I just know you will have wrapped around your little finger in no time flat. One day your father said to me, “I am not surprised we are having a baby with a heart defect”, at first I was a little taken back, but now I get it, if there were ever a more loving family to care for such a miracle it is us. Our marriage is rock solid, we have enough love to give you and your brother two fold, and you are such a wanted little girl. We also have a lot of good friends and family who can’t wait to snuggle with you. Just know in the next few weeks, we will begin to prepare for an event that will change our lives and know that it is for the better – we are so lucky you are ours. 

I am an avid music lover – I listen to all kinds of music and I have heard this one song in my mind a million times by one of my favorite country bands called Rascal Flatts.  I heard the song today and it made me think of you and all that I wish for your life. I want to share the lyrics and video with you now.

My Wish
Songwriters: Steele, Jeffrey; Robson, Steve;

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
And each road leads you where you want to go
And if you're faced with the choice and you have to choose
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you

And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin' til you find the window
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything

My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish

I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you and the place you left
I hope you always forgive and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get

[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/r/rascal-flatts-lyrics/my-wish-lyrics.html ]
Oh, you'd find God's grace in every mistake
And always give more than you take
But more than anything, yeah more than anything

My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish, yeah yeah

My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
(My wish for you)

This is my wish
(My wish for you)
I hope you know somebody loves you
(My wish for you)
May all your dreams stay big
(My wish for you)
