I Was Here, by Beyonce
This song represents what most people I have surrounded myself by feel. We want to feel like we have done something, left our mark, given our all, and done our best. I can honestly say that everyone around me has done what is in this song for me. My life is better because of you. You are all in my life for a reason, and I love that.
My mom, her mark will always be left with me. I have learned and continue to learn from that woman each day.
My dad, where would I be without that man? He is who I want to be. He has taught me more than he will ever understand.
My brother, he is so far away yet so close to my heart. I know he is a call away for me to complain, tell a funny story, or just chat. I love that I have him. His kids, his wife...they complete my family. They are and will always be my people, just like Aiden and Sloane.
Aiden and Sloane, lordy how they have left a huge mark on my life. They are the true proof that I have made a difference in someones life. They are me. They are my world. They are more than I ever thought I could be.
Kyle, he is my soulmate. He allows me to live and to love. To be a the person I always wanted to be. To feel whole and happy. To feel safe and right. To make me feel alive and be a better person each day. I hope that everyone has a chance to feel the love that this man gives me.
Lucy, she makes me a better mom. I see the things she does and that makes me want to do more and be more for my people. I love that I have her. I love the way she keeps our family close to her heart.
Bebe and Papa, they taught me peace. They also shared their love with me. Bebe is there, loves me, loves my kids just like her own. I live and I love the way she has lived and loved.
My friends, oh my friends. I have a lot of them (like 6 or 7 because I am awesome). I love all of them, so very dearly. I learn from them. WE have left our mark on lots of places, things, people. They are more than I ever imagined. They bring me happiness and laughter each and every second. I am very lucky.
Danielle and Micki, we are more than any other family is. We are so abnormal and I love that we have what we have. I wrote a blog post on my previous blog about how rare it is to have a family like ours....I still believe that. I will always take our abnormal ways over other peoples traditional way.
Kippi and Donna, they are like having extra moms. Most aunts aren't like my aunts. I strive to be like them so Maddi and Colton have what I have. I want those two kids to know that I was here, and I have done for them just like my aunts did for me.
Leslie (happy birthday sister), I will tell you that when you listen to this song you will think of her. You will see her. You will hear her singing this. I am pretty certain that she in some form or fashion wrote this song for us to hear. This epitomizes her, who she was, who she will always be in our hearts. Leslie changed our lives in many ways, when she was here and when she left us. She made us live before she died and continues to make us live. I miss her. I wonder what my life would have been like had we had her here all these years. Listen to this song, think of her. Then think of yourself and ask does this song fit you?
Here are the lyrics to the song if you don't watch the video. Again I highly recommend watching it, if not just to see her giant hiney.....
I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time Know there was something that, meant something that I left behind When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets Leave something to remember, so they won't forget
I was here I lived, I loved I was here I did, I've done, everything that I wanted And it was more than I thought it would be I will leave my mark so everyone will know I was here
I want to say I lived each day, until I die And know that I meant something in, somebody's life The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave That I made a difference, and this world will see
I was here I lived, I loved I was here I did, I've done, everything that I wanted And it was more than I thought it would be I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here I lived, I loved I was here I did, I've done, everything that I wanted And it was more than I thought it would be I will leave my mark so everyone will know I was here
I just want them to know That I gave my all, did my best Brought someone to happiness Left this world a little better just because
I was here
I was here I lived, I loved I was here I did, I've done, everything that I wanted And it was more than I thought it would be I wanna leave my mark so everyone will know I was here.
