My Writings. My Thoughts.
One of the most important nights of my life
// May 26th, 2011 // Comments Off // From Audrey Makes Two
Tonight, more that six years since I visited Epcot when I was in chemo and watched the fireworks, and promised myself that I would make it through cancer to return, I stood once again and watched the fireworks with you, Audrey. I’ve been back to Epcot many times in those six years, and listened to the song “We Go On” and wondered if I would ever have the chance to hear it with my child. And tonight I did, and it made me the happiest mother in the whole world.
Here are the lyrics of the song, which always makes me cry:
With The Stillness Of The Night
there Comes A Time To Understand
to Reach Out And Touch Tomorrow
take The Future In Our Hand.
We Can See A New Horizon
built On All That We Have Done
and Our Dreams Begin
another Thousand Circles ’round The Sun.
We Go On
to The Joy And Through The Tears
we Go On
to Discover New Frontiers
moving On
with The Current Of The Years.
We Go On
moving Forward, Now As One
moving On
with A Spirit Born To Run
ever On
with Each Rising Sun.
To A New Day
we Go On
we Go On.
Indeed we do, baby Audrey! I am so happy to have you in my life. Here’s to discovering new frontiers together!
