Song Challenge: For Round Two, we are asking you to Dig Down Deep which means we want you to bring the emotion! Sing any type of song that tugs at our heart strings and makes us feel emotion to our core. We are looking for songs that move us, bring tears to our eyes, and cover us in chills. The song should be one that has a slower type melody and connects to the heart. We are really looking to see how well you master Emotion! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*Please forgive the length of my recording info. I totally understand anyone not wanting to read all of this. It's mostly there for myself as a little musical journaling of one of the most difficult times in our family's life. It really tested our faith in our Lord. It's wonderful to look back and see all of the hundreds of times in the journey God intervened and Jeremy did far better than other kids with similar problems the doctors had encountered.* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<img src="https://singsnap-cdn.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/message-board/threads/NRNM/4715be8d05_BREV_media.jpg">Our son was born with a liver condition. The doctors performed a "temporary" operation when he was 13 days old to give him a little more time to grow before being put on the transplant list. They said he would need one before he was 2. Instead, for many years we had MANY trips to the hospital. Several times he was hospitalized with very limited liver function. He was put on a transplant list several times and then removed because, even during those times he was very sick, he always got better after treatment with IV treatment of 3 to 5 weeks. He could live a pretty normal life...until the next time there was infection. Finally, when he was 27 years old, his doctor called and said that they had a living donor that they thought was the perfect match for Jeremy. It was God's perfect timing because his most recent blood work showed that, he had no infection, but his old liver had had enough. It wasn't functioning as well as it did after previous treatments. There was no rush to the hospital because he wasn't sick at the time. He could schedule the surgery. And the fact that no one else had to die for Jeremy to live made him happy. He has had a few ups and downs with adjusting meds. But he will now be 34 on Independence Day and he is getting married in June. We never knew if he would even make it through his school years. Drs. are all so scientific. They have to be. They can't give patients and parents false hope. But several said that they thought our prayers are what made his old liver serve him decades longer than they had seen in any other pediatric patient. PERSONAL NOTES: Blessings to you all. I am so honored to be here with such amazingly talented people! I can't believe I'm still in this thing. LOL A huge shoutout and thanks to my SS friend <a class="mention" href="#" data-id="1047909" data-value="Grandpajoe" data-email="telecom77@yahoo.com" data-newsletter="false" data-denotation-char="@">@Grandpajoe</a> who sang this song for me when Jeremy was so sick in 2010. He introduced me to the song and it means so much to me. It was written from the dad's point of view, so rather than try to change the words to fit, I just sang it as written. However, every feeling the writer conveys in this song is just how my husband and I both felt. This is the first time that I have sung this song. I know I'm not singing at my best because I really feel this one. I just don't think I will be able to sing it any smoother before the deadline. P.S. Jeremy chose this song as our Mother-Son dance at his wedding! It seems like it might be a difficult one in which to dance, but I'm sure gonna give it my best!
