Song for Isaiah

I've been sortof sad lately for reasons I probably won't ever discuss here.  Just because I think some things are better left... unreported.  Of course the implications of my moderate sadness for this blog are that I haven't felt like writing much about anything. 

But today I decided that I missed listening to music.  So I fired up the ole Pandora & listened away, singing to Isaiah & working.  It was lovely.  And I think my little one enjoyed my singing to him, even though when I finally thought to video tape it, he wasn't too happy.

This song, Run by Snow Patrol, came on, and although I've listened to it many times before, it now has a new meaning for me.  Most of it isn't applicable, but these lyrics made me imagine the day that Isaiah moves away from home...

I'll sing it one last time for you

Then we really have to go

You've been the only thing that's right

In all I've done

Light up, light up

As if you have a choice

Even if you cannot hear my voice

I'll be right beside you dear

To think I might not see those eyes

Makes it so hard not to cry

And as we say our long goodbyes

I nearly do

That will be a sad day.  Good thing I have a few years before I actually have to deal with it. 

I love you son.
