Hold Me

 

One of the greatest things about being a mother is getting to hold your kids.  Luke's feet never touched the ground for the first 30 minutes of the day until Eva was born.  When he woke up I would hold him all the way down the stairs and hold him while we read books or watched a DVD and while he drank his milk.  I still love to hold Luke and I love when he sings this song. 
Eva was the one who first noticed this song on the radio.  She loved be-bopping to the tune.  As she was so cute in the back seat it made me think of her.  The singer, Jamie Grace, is 19 and originally wrote this song about a sunggie and then realized it was similar to God "holding" her.  When I hear the song I think about Eva's hugs and how much I love holding her.  It is pure joy.  I wish it could last forever.  I love the aura Eva creates.  Suddenly the world is a better place.  I love being able to dance and sing in the grocery store when I am with her.  I love to kiss her at every isle.  I love to ignore everything else and just be with her.  I love dancing in the car with Eva as this song plays.  I also love her dancing hugs and how she asks me to hold her to dance with her.

My favorite lyrics about Luke and Eva are...
"Just when I think this crazy world will get me down, that's when your smile comes around."
"You take each and every day and make it special in some way."
"I love you more than word or my brain can express, I can't imagine even loving you less."
"You took my day and flipped it around..."
"I love the way you hold me!"
