Have a Song

Published by mommyto2 under Ways to Bond Edit This

When I was pregnant with my son, I was driving to work one day and heard the song “A Moment Like This” by Kelly Clarkson.  I started to cry.  I know the song is about love, and what greater love is there than between mother and child. 

I had waited my whole life to have a baby and the lyrics, “Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this, Oh I can’t believe it’s happening to me..”  That is exactly what I was feeling (and the hormones didn’t help)

So, that became our song.  My precious unborn baby and I had a song. 

I have played the song several times for my now 5 year old son, and each time I tell him how it made me cry when I was pregnant with him.  How having him was the single most precious moment in my life and how the song will forever remind me of him and the love I had for him even before we even met.

We were in the car the other day and the song came on.  I felt my eyes sting with the tears of earlier times and before I could say anything my son, in the back seat, said “Hey mom, isn’t this our song?”

“Yes baby, it is.”
