Very touching song ~ Check it out...

 

I heard this song on the radio last week, and as i listened to each and every word...many thoughts ran through my mind as i sat there and cried..

I thought about my Aunt Judy and her journey with Cancer...how she fought to live...fought her fears and put it all in God's hands ~ If it was God's will..then that was what was meant to be in her eyes. Her Faith is what pulled her through many days...and support from family and friends... It's been over a year now and It still doesn't seem real that she is really gone...It's as if I think she will be calling anytime to invite me over to a BBQ...Wienie roast...or slumber party...things she loved so very much, spending time with family was one of her many joys.

Then I thought of all my friends facing this very same battle with all their might..  Riss, Trish, Kim,Christina, Donna's sister..and many more i'm sure  and the more i listened to the words the more i cried...and had to listen to it over and over. 

I cannot put into words how much of an inspiration you women have been in my life...and I just want to say Thank you from the bottom of my heart ~ Love u guys!

Lyrics for Song: Tough
Lyrics for Album: Little Bit of Life

She’s in the kitchen at the crack of dawn
Bacon’s on, coffee’s strong
Kids running wild, taking off their clothes
If she’s a nervous wreck, well it never shows
Takes one to football and one to dance
Hits the Y for aerobics class
Drops by the bank, stops at the store
Has on a smile when I walk through the door
The last to go to bed, she’ll be the first one up
And I thought I was tough

Chorus
She’s strong, pushes on, can’t slow her down
She can take anything life dishes out
There was a time
Back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough

We sat there five years ago
The doctors let us know, the test showed
She’d have to fight to live, I broke down and cried
She held me and said it’s gonna be alright
She wore that wig to church
Pink ribbon pinned there on her shirt
No room for fear, full of faith
Hands held high singing Amazing Grace
Never once complained, refusing to give up
And I thought I was tough

Chorus
She’s strong, pushes on, can’t slow her down
She can take anything life dishes out
There was a time
Back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough

She’s a gentle word, the sweetest kiss
A velvet touch against my skin
I’ve seen her cry, I’ve seen her break
But in my eyes, she’ll always be strong

There was a time
Back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough

          

In Memory of Judy and Faith
