It's been awhile and I can't remember who was making a CD of all the songs that remind them of our children, but I'm about to do the same. This teenage boy that lives down the street from me can burn songs onto CD's and I'm having him make a bunch for our Ds group, for those that are already members and for those who are new parents as well. I have a list of songs that grab my heart and remind me of Noah, but if you have any that you could share I'd appreciate it. I'm having a ton of these made, so when they are ready, if you want one, you can just send me your address and I'll send you one, no charge. Vonda

That sounds great! I think it was Amy who was also compiling songs for a CD. When I work out, I like listening to a CD one of our neighbors burned for me. It is by Creed and I don't know the title of the song (no lyric insert with the homemade stuff) but the words are "children, don't stop dancing - believe you can fly" for some reason, I always think of Olivia when I hear that song. Maybe because I don't want to lose hope, even when the going gets rough.I guess with me being an old foaggie and all, maybe I'm getting it all wrong (the words and intended meaning) but I like the song all the same!

Veronika I have a few songs that have completely different meanings as well, but can also apply to Noah. The song "I knew I loved you before I met you" by Savage Garden was the first song I heard on the radio when we brought Noah home from the hospital and it stuck, especially the part where it says "a thousand angels dance around you, I am complete now that I found you". Here are the words below, and it DEFINITELY will make the CD. Vonda


I knew I loved you - Savage Garden

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes,
I think I found my best friend
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe........

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see
The missing pieces I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

Vonda and Veronika,
Yes, it's me! I have been waiting to post about my CD until I had burned enough of them to send out. Super Moderator Jeff and Elizabeth got a preview. My BIL owns an internet Co., so he is burning 30 more for me. If you would like one,please send me a self addressed stamped padded envelope(1.50 worth of stamps-I took it to the PO!)and I'll send it out . I have 5 burned right now, but am waiting on the other 30. You can PM me for my address. Can't wait to have your CD too Vonda! I wonder if we have some of the same songs?

Amy please PM me and let me know what songs you have, it doesn't matter if they are the same or not, I just want some good ones for our group as well. I only have about 6 songs right now, but would like more. Thanks. Vonda
