Tugging the Heartstrings In Opposite Directions

Boy it’s been an age since I last posted! Wow!  I won’t describe the horror, the horror, that has been our household the last few weeks…just glad to be back!

Came upon two songs that seem like the opposite parts of a conversation.  They are both beautiful and both sad, and yet, somehow even better together.

I was impressed with my eldest when the first song made him cry. Even a few months ago, I don’t think he would have been mature enough to understand why it was sad. (Juss, for instance, told me “I’m not sad, Mommy!” ;-)

  1. Dancing With Cinderella was written and performed by Steven Curtis Chapman. Just a few weeks ago, his 5-year old adopted daughter died in an accident; very sad, but from what I hear, the family is grieving without bitterness.
    Kinda adds another layer to the song…

    • That is how I heard the song. They played it on the radio in honor of Maria Chapman. The Chapman’s websites have a charity of some kind that one can donate to in her honor. We want to do that!

  2. We must stop making each other cry this way.
    ; )

    Is it any wonder our dads were overprotective? How do they know we’re getting a Prince Charming and not a Humperdink?

      • I think the realization that this was in fact “the one” made mon pere less than enthusiastic initially. Stealing Cinderella, I guess. Plus, we had a few years of college to go. Who knows what might happen? I’m sure under similar circumstances we might be a little uncertain ourselves.

        However he warmed up when Steve asked for his permission to marry me and appreciated the very public on-bended-knee proposal. He sees the grand daughter everyday and is thus content with another Cinderella.

  7. Speaking of tugging at heartstrings, I foiund a video on YouTube that is VERY moving/touching. I’m not going to post it in my LJ until Father’s Day, and I don’t want to say anything about the video right now, as I don’t want to give anything away…;)
