Tears of an Angel

Today, Brandon was listening to a song that I had never heard before called "Tears of an Angel" by Ryandan. I couldn't help but break down as I listened to the lyrics, but I thought it was a perfect song for our little angel. I put some of our videos of her with the song...and it's just fitting.



"Tears of an Angel"
Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
Tell me these words are a lie
It can't be true
That I'm losing you
The sun cannot fall from the sky

Can you hear heaven cry
Tears of an angel?
Tears of an angel
Tears of an angel.

Stop every clock
Stars are in shock
The river will flow to the sea
I won't let you fly
I won't say goodbye
I won't let you slip away from me

Can you hear heaven cry?
Tears of an angel
Tears of an angel
Tears of an angel.

So hold on
Be strong
Everyday on we'll go
I'm here, don't you fear

Little one dont let go
Dont let go
Dont let go

Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
Tell me these words are a lie

The Mommy Song, the Daddy Song, and the Kerrigan Song

This was Kerrigan's first attempt at composing her own songs. I guess you can really see what she thought of Mommy and Daddy, according to her lyrics. I was at work while she made it up, and Brandon had called me on Skype so she could sing me the Mommy Song. Later, when I got home, she had made up a Daddy Song and a Kerrigan Song. Here they are for your listening pleasure.

Forever

I was listening to a song by Rascall Flats earlier today and thought it was extremely fitting for Kerrigan. I just wanted to share the lyrics on here.

"Forever"
I miss you so much
Your light, your smile, your way, and everything about us
Though you're gone, you're still here
In my heart, in my tears
Yeah you sure left your mark and we were just getting started

It wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough... Together...
But it was long enough, yeah, it was long enough... to last forever...

Sometimes I get so mad; I scream and swear at this
Cuz' this, isn't how we planned it
I sit here, in a cold room...
Prayin'
Waiting on you o run back through that door,
The way it was before

You left, it wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough... together
But it was long enough; yeah it was long enough to last, forever...

I feel cheated, defeated
Can't believe that you're gone
Oh it was wrong (so wrong)
It wasn't long enough
It wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough...
Nooo it wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough...
Together
But it was long enough; yeah it was long enough, to last,
To last, to last forever...


In other news, we've been working with Bott Monuments in Riverton to design Kerrigan's memorial. They've sent us two mock-ups, and I think we've decided to go with the second one. It'll be in a light grey stone with bright purple and pink bronze butterflies.

First Option:

Here's a close-up of the butterflies. They're bronzed, but can have any color patina applied to them. Also, the vase with the memorial has butterflies up the front with a bright purple background.
