A Song for Our Sweetheart

My sweet husband randomly thought of a song that reminded him of our little angel.  He wanted to share that moment with me and we listened to it thinking of our little one.  I have to admit, I still break down when thinking of how much I miss her. (I'm still convinced it was a girl.). Below are the lyrics to the song.  Obviously, not all of it applies since we planned to be pregnant, but the sentiment is just as meaningful.  So to anyone out there who has been there.  I share this moment with you.  If you want to listen to the song, YouTube Ten by Yellowcard.



  • I found out in the fall I've been gone
    On the road for a year
    She said,
    "Honey, I've got real bad news" and
    Then there were just tears
    And we would never be the same again
    Since then I've often wondered
    What you might have been like
    How it would have felt to hold you,
    Would you have my eyes?
    Don't you think we would've been best friends?

    You would be ten and I'd be
    Driving you to school
    You would tell all your friends
    That you thought I was cool
    And you would have
    All the love in my heart
    Yeah, you would have
    All the love in my heart

    We were twenty-two years young then
    Breaking rules all around
    We were
    Moving in that first apartment
    It felt like it was never gonna end
    Both so lost and crazy
    We were young so we ran
    Now I live in a dream where I am
    Holding your little hands
    I never got to meet you, my best friend

    You would be ten and I'd be
    Driving you to school
    You would tell all your friends
    That you thought I was cool
    You would be out in the sun
    Until it was gone
    You would be watching Star Wars
    With your PJ's on
    And you would have
    All the love in my heart
    Yeah, you would have
    All the love in my heart

    Mm
    Mm

    Don't you think we would have been best friends?

    You would be ten and I'd be
    Driving you to school
    You would tell all your friends
    That you thought I was cool
    You would be out in the sun
    Until it was gone
    You would be watching Star Wars
    With your PJ's on
    You would be playing tunes on
    On your first guitar
    You would be harmony to
    Every single part of me
    And you have
    All the love in my heart
    Yeah, you would have
    All the love in my heart

    Mm
    Mm

    It's not about an abortion, but about a miscarriage his girlfriend had.

    Yeah, I think the song is about a miscarriage Ryans girlfriend had ten years ago, she called to tell him on phone" Honey iv got real bad news, and there were just tears." But now he wish he got to meet his child he never got to see. "I never got to meet you my bestfriend".
    Great song, I can soo much relate to it

  • Song Meaning:
    This song is about an abortion. "Both so lost and crazy. We were young so we ran." They were young so they aborted their child. And though it was probably what was best at the time he is wondering what the kid would have turned out like. And he says "22 years young" which indicates he felt he was too young for a child. Ryan Key is 32 now, so yeah the kid would have been 10 this year.

We are Fighters

I didn't expect to have an update this soon, but what I need to realize is I need to stop having any expectations.  I have no clue which obstacles will continue, how high or low the hills will be, and there is not a single thing I can do about it.  The reason I say this is because I didn't think my appointment on Monday to have the ultrasound would be a big deal.  My husband, Tim, insisted my mom come with me since he had to work and I asked her even though I saw no point.  This wasn't supposed to be a big appointment and I already knew what the situation was.  I knew I had a heart-shaped uterus so what else was there to worry about?  Wrong again. As I'm sitting on the table with the nurse examining my lady business, I asked her what she saw.  Of course she played it safe and told me my doctor would go over everything with me.  She was nice about it, but it still annoyed me.  Just tell me already, no your not a doctor but you also know wh...

A Heart Shaped Uterus for a Very Loved Future Baby

I thought it fitting to have my first real fertility appointment with my new doctor during the week of my birthday.  It made sense with beginning a new year of life and I feel good about my doctor.  She was able to reassure me that it's okay and we can still get pregnant.  I think it's important to hear any positivity in these situations and any doctor who can provide that no matter the circumstance is a hero in my book. She not only reassured me with the fact that we did get pregnant, but also that she had her son at the age of 35, so this whole clock dwindling concept is silly.  I left that appointment with directions to get an HSG done which basically determines if your fallopian tubes flow properly and addresses my "upside down-heart-shaped uterus."  There is a much fancier term for it (bicornuate uterus), but I prefer my catchy phrase. The test was today and for those of you who have not experienced it, they tell you it feels like your worst period cram...

Your Fertile Window is Active

As I'm driving home from work today, I randomly think about my fertility app on my phone. I won't tell you that I actually updated my calendar while driving....but back to my point.  So I updated where my lovely lady business is in regards to ovulating and "aunt flow." Then this beautiful message pops up, your fertility window is open .  This may seem silly, but that phrase became a symbol of hope and new beginnings for me.  For you to understand why, I think some updates are in order. After the miscarriage and Christmas season, I made a decision to leave my job.  Something just clicked and I had to make a change.  I am not saying the job itself is what caused the miscarriage, but I do believe the lifestyle I was living did.  My job was almost 24-7 and I hadn't found a way to turn it off when I was home.  None of that was conducive to having a child.  So I searched for jobs I knew would still provide the mental challenge I yearned for, similar i...
