Since I have adopted Kassidy and she has come into my life and been my daughter, I view things and hear things much differently. For example when I hear songs, the meaning is different for me. When Kassidy was a few months old I heard the song "Keeper of the stars" by Tracy Bryd -- It says it was no accident me finding you, someone hand a hand in it long before we ever knew -- then the chorus says - I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars he sure knew what he was doing when he joined these two hearts , I hold everything when I hold you in my arms, now I have all I will ever need thanks to the keeper of the stars -- So ofcourse this made me think of Goldlielocks and babybear and our relationship. So I was listening to the radio the other day - yes it was something else besides Elmo, Barney or Kidz bop! I heard the song I Loved Her First by Heartland and it is about a father and his realtionship with his daughter as she is getting married well here are the lyrics (I am changing father to mother) this is the chorus
I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a mother runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first
and there are other parts to the song - but oh my I so thought of Goldilocks and her love for baby bear--- She loved her first - before I even knew my daughter or saw my daughter she loved her first! Wow--- I may have a lot of firsts in her life now but that really melts my heart to know that she got that first-- what a special tie to always have to someone. She truely loved her first.
