Today

Hey Son, just want to let you know(but you know already) that we especially love you today and we especially miss you today. It's not any special day or a day of any significance but we just feel very much about you today. We're celebrating our relationship with you son. Happy Tuesday and remembering the beach bum that you are.

I don't want to miss a thing

To Zane & Summer,
I just want to tell you that I don't want to miss anything in your lives. So, for all the times I wasn't there, I was watching.
For all the times I wasn't watching, I was feeling. Love you guys. This song is for you.

To Jon,
Those words were inspired by you son. I know you see me even if I cannot see you. And I know you feel my every heart beat coz you are always next to me. This is my song to you in memory of you, as you were growing up. And, our last 1-year journey as I cared for you. I know that as much as it is for you, it is also for me, from you...Thank you son for being with me. For always.

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
I don't want to miss a thing

Happy Valentine's, my children.

6 Months on

Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you
tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had...baby

Don't Cry- Guns & Roses

Six month's have passed. What is the concept of time when yours is the moment?
Miss you we do but there is so much to cherish of you every single day, and we do. You are seldom far from our thoughts son.
Six month's on. You keep us going like the rising sun each day and me on even keel.

And we just got the Guns & Roses CD back from the Liews tonight. It was one of Jon's favourite CD and in fact now I know why he performed their cover version of 'Knocking on Heaven's Door' at his school campfire.
