Dear Michael,
I have been going through the computers "random stuff" file you made trying to figure out what everything is and if its important or not. While I went through it I found this note:
"Somebody Loved"
-The Weepies
C Am Em G
Rain turns the sand into mud
C Am Em G
Wind turns the trees into bone
C Am Em G
Stars turning high up above
F G C
You turn me into somebody loved.
C Am Em G
Nights when the heat had gone out
C Am Em G
We danced together alone
C Am Em G
Cold turned our breath into clouds
C Am Em G
We never said what we were dreaming of
F G C
But you turned me into somebody loved.
F G C
Someday when we're old and worn
Dm C F G
Like two softened shoes
F G C
I will wonder on how I was born
Dm C F G
The night I first ran away from you.
C Am Em G
Now my feet turn the corner back home
C Am Em G
Sun turns the evening to rose
C Am Em G
Stars turning high up above
F G C
You turn me into somebody loved.
I love the line about the heat going out because it reminds me of the night when you decided to change our thermostat to a digital one. You couldn't figure out what wire went where and I got so frustrated that you had started that project on such a cold night. Little E was in bed and I didn't want her to get too cold. But you figured it out eventually and we all went to bed warm and toasty in the end. :)
This song also reminds me of Christmas last year. If I remember right you were helping your nephew and sister learn it for the family christmas talent show. I am hoping Missy can fill me in on more of the details in a comment or something. I loved listening to you learn new songs and really miss the music that used to fill my home. I love you so much and wish this Christmas were more like last years. Thank you so much for loving me and "turning me into somebody loved."
Your sweetheart,
Jenny

Ah, that wonderful song! I heard it first on pandora and fell in love with it. Dainon was just barely starting to play guitar, so he needed some serious backup. I sent Michael the song, and he played it with us for the family talent show. I'll never forget how he jazzed up the end unexpectedly :) I love that song, and I sing it when I want to feel him close to me. Thanks for the memory!
You dont know me, but I've been following your blog for a little while. I found it through a comment you left on the Sullengers blog. I couldn't help but leave a comment here for you tonight. I just want you to know that I really admire your strength! Honestly, I know that if my husband were to pass away, I just couldn't go on. You're so blessed to have 2 beautiful children to carry you through the dark and lonely times. I am esp thinking about you and praying for you during the holiday seasons. I couldn't imagine the pain you're feeling, esp at this time.
Please know that I will be praying for you that you will find comfot and peace. And that you will feel our Saviours Love surrounding you. I also pray that you will feel your husband close to you and that his warmth and Spirit will lift you during the dark days.
