I came across the blog Bring the Rain a few years ago. I read the words Angie Smith wrote about her daughter Audrey Caroline and thought it was just so sad. Never did I think, I would be in the same position. I am currently reading her book I Will Carry You. Here is a song that her husband wrote for their daughter. I warn you that if you watch the video be prepared with some Kleenex. I watched it on Friday and when Steve got home he said “are you okay?” My eyes were still a little red and puffy! I think the song is just beautiful and completely captures how we feel.
I Will Carry You by Selah
There were photographs I wanted to take,
Things I wanted to show you,
Sing sweet lullabys,
Wipe your teary eyes,
Who could love you like this?
People say that I am brave but I'm not,
Truth is I'm barely hangin' on,
There's a greater story
Written long before me,
Because He loves you like this.
Chours:
I will carry you,
While your heart beats here,
Long beyond the empty cradle,
Through the coming years,
I will carry you,
All my life,
I will praise the One,
Who's chosen me,
To carry you.
Bridge:
Such a short time,
Such a long road,
All this maddness,
But I know,
That the silence,
Has brought me to His voice,
And He said,
"I've shown her photographs of time beginning,
Walked her through the parted sea,
Angel lullabys,
No more teary eyes,
Who could love her like this?"
Chours:
I will carry you,
While your heart beats here,
Long beyond the empty cradle,
Through the coming years,
I will carry you,
All your life,
I will praise the One,
Who's chosen me,
To carry you.

Ohhhh...we are in tears. Every life truly does have a story. We know that Willow is creating strong branches that will touch and bless many people.
I have the CD with this song on it. I thought about giving it to you when you were here but wasn't sure. It is a beautiful song and story. While you are carrying Willow, God is carrying you! Lisa
