She is My Sunshine

I was singing to Adelaide along with Elizabeth Mitchell on Pandora the other day and one of my favorite songs of all time came on: "You are My Sunshine". As a little girl my dad would sing this song to me and it has always given me warm fuzzies. As I listened to the words it struck me that the song fits our struggle with PCOS and now having Adelaide pretty well. She is utterly and completely my sunshine. She lights up every day (and night) in a way that I could have never imagined before but not a day goes by that I am not reminded of the dark times when she was merely a prayer. You are My SunshineMy only SunshineYou make me happy When skies are greyYou'll never know, dearHow much I love youPlease don't take my sunshine away The other night, dear, As I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my armsWhen I awoke, dear, I was mistaken And I hung my head and cried.

You are My Sunshine


My only SunshineYou make me happy When skies are greyYou'll never know, dearHow much I love youPlease don't take my sunshine away We are filled with gratitude and awe each day that we have been given Addie. Our prayers are fervent that all vocations of our friends shall be realized (SOON!!!).

I love this post, so true! This pics are awesome (and that bib is fantastic!). I once heard, maybe in a movie or something, "I love you more than sunshine" the mom said to the child and it always stuck with me. It doesn't get any better than that!
