It's been a while.
I'm sorry
Through moving, new job, new life, I've neglected you.
Again, my bad.
I'll get into the details of our move, and everything going on in our lives in an upcoming post, but for now I wanted to share something thats struck me. Actually, a song thats been in the back of my mind for some time now. Brought on by a remake of a Cyndi Lauper classic renewed in the recent movie Trolls by Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick.
The song just makes me think of everything we've been struggling with over the last few years. For those more visual:
“You with the sad eyes, dont be discouraged, though I realize it’s hard to take courage. In a world full of people, you can loose sight of it, and the darkness inside you, will make you feel so small.”
This line, so simply, so beautifully, sums up the struggle we've faced. But like our own lives, it doesn't end there:
“But I see you’re true colors shining through. I see you’re true colors, and that’s why I love you. So don’t be afraid to let them show, your true colors are beautiful, like a rainbow.”
Anyone seeing a theme here? I wish I could take credit for this. A more beautiful sentiment I couldn't write myself.
“Show me a smile, dont be unhappy. Can’t remember when I last saw you laughing. If this world makes you crazy and you’ve taken all you can bear, you call me up because you know I’ll be there.”
