Sunshine on my shoulders make me happy..

Maybe its unusual for a born and raised, meat and potatoes, Midwesterner to have an affinity for John Denver. I blame my parents. Ha! But there it is. Heck, My Mom even choose "Perhaps Love", a John Denver duet with Placido Domingo, as the song to Dance with me at my wedding.

The reason I bring this up is 4 years ago today, E1 stormed into our hearts, and to our joy, he firmly implanted himself in our lives. Today is E1's "Gotcha" Day. I think back before that day, on a visit trip that J and I made. One morning while having breakfast with E1 sleeping beside us, a song just came to mind. Its was one of those goofy Hallmark moments, but it stuck. And forevermore, when I hear that song it just takes me back to that moment. A Tiny sleeping E1, J and I barely able to eat our breakfast. Just staring at that wonderful little man, and the big goofy smiles he put on our faces. Rain or shine, E1 always bring the sunshine into my life, into our home. Thank you Lord for entrusting this Angel into our care.

Sunshine on my Shoulder - John Denver

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you a day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high
Sunshine almost always

Peace
