an early mothers day present

did you know i love taylor swift? i know i have, but i almost more than love her. she is beyond amazing. 

the song "best day" is beyond words. i bought this CD a week before we had the fiasco with greta and found this song and fell in love. after the news of her diagnosis i listened to this song over and over and over again, this song crushed me because all i ever wanted in life was to be greta's mom, to have the chance to be the mother talks about in the song and more to greta. when we received the news that it was a misdiagnosis this song became my happy place, because i was given the chance to be that, i get to be greta's mom..... no matter what her life may bring us. from that day forward i was given a chance to be the best mom to my daughter (and son) and i knew i couldn't mess up as long as i loved them with everything that i am.

at the same time this song has a double meaning because i did have that mom growing up. my mom is the most beautiful person in the whole wide world. she is everything to me, to everyone. no one could ask for a better mother and i was glad taytay (as we so lovingly call her) could put it down in words for me. 

so get out your kleenex and enjoy.....

Thanks for letting me peek into your life by following your blog - I love your honesty and energy! It's very inspiring and refreshing.

Love Taylor too and I hope I'll run into you at the concert in just 3 weeks!!

p.s. Blake and I are going to keep our fingers crossed for a date with you two!

You accomplished tear ducts flowing free here, Kennan. There's truly nothing better than being a mom! And my mothering can in part be attributed to your mom who taught me so well! I love y'all!

I'm crying now, too. Thanks. :) I'm gonna borrow this one for my mom on Mother's Day, if you don't mind. I think she'll love it. It just makes you want to try & be the best mom ever, huh? And I love that she thinks there are spiders in her hair, I would love to have those spiders as my hair!

Is there a limit to how many times I can listen/watch this before I buy it?!?! I will buy it. I love it.
