My favourite song about mothers.

Happy Mother's Day one and all!!

Mama - Il divo

Mama thank you for who I am

Thank you for all the things I'm not

Forgive me for the words unsaid

For the times

I forgot

Mama remember all my life

You showed me love,You sacrificed

Think of those young and early days

How I've changed

along the way

And I know you believed

And I know you had dreams

And I'm sorry it took all this time to see

That I am where I am because of your truth

I miss you, I miss you

Mama forgive the times you cried

Forgive me for not making right

All of the storms I may have caused

And I've been wrong

Dry your eyes

Mama I hope this makes you smile

I hope you're happy with my life

At peace with every choice I made

How I've changed

Along the way

And I know you believed in all of my dreams

And I owe it all to you, Mama

My favourite sound.

Monkey (18months) and me

Ok, I may be stealing this idea from Wordpress. Ok fine, it's stealing but I am not even going to apologise for it....

I would like to apologise for not having this in video or audio for you as that would make this post perfect.

My Favourite Sound:

Monkey laughing. Especially if he is laughing with Stud1. They both have contagious laughs which make me feel happier just listening to them. Luckily for me, they laugh often and freely.

My Second Favourite Sound?

The sound of Monkey sleeping. He's quite a snuffly little hedgehog.
