The Story Behind This Song
If this ever finds you…
I don't know where you are when you're reading this… or what your life feels like right now… but I know you. I know your heart. I know the little girl who used to save me the last cup of pretend tea like it mattered more than anything in the world. I know the way you used to hum down the hallway like the whole house depended on your light. And I still hear that girl. She didn't disappear to me. Not for one second.
I have replayed your life in my head a thousand times… from the moment they laid you on my chest and everything in me went still because my soul recognized yours. You weren't just my daughter. You were my miracle. You were the one God trusted me with.
You are still my baby. I don't care how old you are. I don't care what life looks like now. I don't care how much time has passed. There is nothing — nothing — you could ever do that would make me close my arms to you.
And if you ever need a way out… if you ever feel stuck, scared, or alone… You can come to me. No questions. No judgment. No conditions.
I love you to God's nose and back again. To infinity and beyond times ten. And I am still here… waiting for you.
Be the first one around the fire.
