Bella. Thank you. Thank you. I've heard versions of this song that moved me but not like yours. Twenty years ago, I lay alone in a hospital bed just grimly given the news of a massive blood clot in my heart. All my insides sank to my feet. My mind raced. I had young children at home. What would they do? How will they be raised and taken care of? 35 years is all I get? It was just yesterday I was in middle school still. Where did it all go? I have no time to say goodbye. It was the greatest mix of anger, fear, and desolation all balled together one could imagine. I closed my eyes tight and held my breath hard fearing the unknown about to come. Then, in a moment, the scent of spring was in my nose. A light warm breeze brushed my face. My hands and feet tingled. I couldn’t feel the bed under me. I was enveloped in a shroud of perfect peace, comfort, contentment. All was quiet. Then the softest of a whisper deep in my ear…. “Everything is ok. I’m right here.” I opened my eyes and smiled. I knew it all was. Twelve months later as I peered down in her face, she suddenly opened and locked her eyes into mine, steadily for what seemed like forever, much longer and more focused than I’ve witnessed a two-hour old infant do. And in that moment I knew. SHE was the shroud that enveloped me that glorious day. Today my baby girl is soon to be married. She assigned me to find a song for our father daughter dance. I’ve struggled to find one to do justice in the expression of my love for her. There have been countless beautiful songs written. And many who can carry a tune. But hearing these words sung by this voice brought all this back to me, that perfect day. And the ability to do that for someone is an amazing gift. So, thank you Bella from the bottom of my heart. Your song will be our song. And during it will be a shared memory which will again be a perfect peace, making it a never to be forgotten day.
@@MikeP128 oh my goodness....what a beautiful testimony and story. Thank you so much for sharing with me. 🙏🏼😭 What a miracle it is to be alive and to know the reason when years ago you weren't even sure that was a possibility. And now....blows my mind but it's truly amazing. Miracles happen everyday, and your story reminds me of that. I'm very grateful you are here today and have a full life filled with love and peace, and living now to see the goodness unfold in your daughter's life. I'm very glad you enjoyed my rendition of this song, but more than anything, glad to hear my version is the song you choose for your father daughter dance on her special day, as I know the meaning now behind selecting the song makes it being selected even more special. My heartfelt congratulations on your daughter's marriage. ❤️ Your words blessed me, so I'm very grateful my song blessed you, and hopefully will bless the two of you while dancing to it on her special day. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and to share with me. 🙏🏼 Means a lot
You sound so beautiful! I really like your cover of this song. I lived as a suicidal drug addicted mess for a decade because of undiagnosed autism, and my son who was unplanned saved my life. I cry every time I hear this song and hearing your version was especially touching and healing 🫶🫶🫶🫶I like it without the dancy vibes that are in the og lol
Wow thank you so much ❤ 🙏🏼 your story is a powerful one and I'm grateful you shared it with me. Also grateful to hear my version of this song touches you in a real way 😭 thank you for saying that. I'm amazed by resilience and how the worse situations in life can truly make us better. This song means a lot to me too which is why I covered it I had to express in a more raw stripped down way exposing the core message of the song. Thank you again for stopping by watching and listening and leaving a comment. Grateful to you 🙏🏼
Thank you so much! 😭 Your words mean so much and I'm grateful you shared them with me. 🙏🏼 Such a powerful healing message. This song means a lot to me too and I'm grateful that comes off in my rendition. I felt it needed to be stripped down to the basics so that the core of the message could really resonate. I'm grateful for you and to you. ❤️
