Boy momma theme songs

My SPEAK sister Jenny, wrote in her blog about how much the song "Home" by Phillip Phillips touched her heart, especially the lines:

Hold on, to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave is stringing us along
Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m going to make this place your home

Perfect for our apraxia journey when you listen to the words, isn't it.  This is a very unfamiliar road, and we ride lots of waves.

A song that spoke directly to me the very first time I heard it was "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz.  It says everything I want Jason, Griffin, Carter and Charlie to know:

• I will never give up on them.
• I give them all my love even with things get rough.
• I will not walk away from their problems.
• I appreciate and embrace their differences.

It's another beautiful song that takes on a whole new meaning when you filter through the ears of a special needs boy momma.  I listen to it often, and Charlie lets me sing it to him sometimes.

Here the song lyrics if you aren't familiar with the song.  I highly recommend spending the $1.29 to download it from iTunes:)

I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

This boy momma loves her boys!!!
