Because I don't want to forget...

Yesterday Burke was in the living room and "our" song came on. Last year I had to have surgery to find out if I had lymphoma. It was scary. I had a 9 month old and they thought I had lymphoma. The song by Train, "Hey Soul Sister" was popular. The night before my surgery Burke and me danced to it. I held him while big ole' tears ran down my cheeks. The unknown is so scary. It was a great feeling to dance with Burke and the song, I don't know, it was just perfect. The test all came back normal, thank God! Burke and I would hear the song all the time in the car to the point I got sick of it. I started changing the channel when it came on, those darn radio stations can ruin a song! It had been several months since Burke and I listened to the song. Well last night, while doing the dishes, the song came on. Burke was in the front room playing. Out of no where he came running to me and was just smiling and dancing away. He held his hands up to me to show me he wanted me to pick him up. We danced. Just like we did a year ago. This time big ole' tears rolled down my cheeks just because I love that little guy more than life itself!

On a completely different note here is what Burke is up to!
