Three Months Yesterday

A lot has been going on inside of me,

a blanket of sadness enveloping me like a dark night.
A storm rolled in from the sea.

I may have already posted the lyrics to this song. The person I am is someone who can listed to a song 30 or more times in a row. I woke up on the couch, crashed watching tv. I decided to load some new music on my ipod and put on my headphones. I looked at music in my library and found this song. I downloaded the lyrics and spent a few moments changing the words up. I love Winter Song... The first time I heard it was after they performed on Jay Leno. I went on YouTube and watched the video about 20 times that night. I purchased the song on itunes and haven't listed to it much since then.

Michael passed away 3 months ago yesterday (Thursday), an anniversary parents shouldn't have to celebrate. This is my winter song to Michael.....


Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum

This is our winter song to you.
You left us too soon,
A storm rolled in from the sea

Your voice; a beacon in my night.
my memories are my light,
I carry you with me.

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow,
Or so i have been told.

They say your spirit lives far,
Just like a distant star
we simply cannot hold.

Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...

This is my winter song.
April 9th never felt so wrong,
Cause you're not where you belong;
inside our arms.

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum

Do I still believe in summer days?
The seasons always change
And life will find a way.

Ill be your harvester of light
And send it out every night
One day to meet again.

Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...

This is our winter song.
April never felt so wrong,
Cause you're not where you belong;
Inside our arms.

This is my winter song to you.
You left us too soon
A storm rolled in from the sea.

Our love for you a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light
To carry you to me.

Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...

Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...

Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...

Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...

Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...

Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...
Our love is alive...

Download the song from iTunes, it is beautiful. Michael would have said, "You are still listening to the same song?" I would have shown him the video and he would have liked it because it was a cartoon and he was a lover of cartoons.

Michael's Name Project

To celebrate Michael, my wife has started a Michael's Name Project Group on Flickr.
Michael's Name Project.

We would love it if you could post a photo of anything interesting with his name "Michael" on it, and if you would like to join the group, just send Jenn a request with Michael's name in the body of the e-mail.
Thanks all for everything! I love all the pictures!

Happy Birthday Michael

I remember you, do you remember me too
Born on the 1st of July the sight of cartoons made you laugh
And though you’re going far from home rest assured you’re not alone

‘Cause I would give everything that I own
I’d give you my heart and this skin and these bones
The sun the moon the earth the sky I’d never even stopped to wonder why
I would do anything
I would give everything
to see you one more time
now that you are gone

It seems like such a long long time since you were here
But I think that you should know
we didn't want you to go


‘Cause I would give everything that I own
I gave you my love and this heart formally made of stone
The sun the moon the earth the sky The gocart that I like to ride
I would do anything
I would give everything
to see one more time
now you are up in the sky

But if ever you should stray, just know we loved you everyday
Look into our hands You're slipping through them like a tiny grain of sand


I remember you, do you remember me too
Seems like such a long long time since you were near and I called you mine

‘Cause I would give everything that I own
I’d give you my heart and this skin and these bones
The sun the moon the earth the sky a brand new gocart that you and I could drive
I would do anything
I would give everything
to see you one more time
now that you are gone
rest assured you are not alone
