These lyrics really get to me:
BILLY RAY CYRUS LYRICS
“Ready, Set, Don’t Go”
She’s gotta do what she’s gotta do
And I’ve gotta like it or not
She’s got dreams too big for this town
And she needs to give ‘em a shot
Whatever they are
Looks like she’s all ready to leave
Nothing left to pack
There ain’t no room for me in that car
Even if she asked me to tag along
God I gotta be strong
She’s at the startin’ line of the rest of her life
As ready as she’s ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in her eyes
The prize is hers to win
She’s waitin’ on my blessings before she hits that
open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Don’t go
She says things are fallen into place
Feels like they’re fallen apart
I painted this big ol’ smile on my face
To hide my broken heart
If only she knew
This is where I don’t say what I want so bad to say
This is where I want to but I won’t get in the way
Of her and her dreams
And spreadin’ her wings
She’s at the startin’ line of the rest of her life
As ready as she’s ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in her eyes
The prize is hers to win
She’s waitin’ on my blessings before she hits that
open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Don’t go
She’s at the startin’ line of the rest of her life
As ready as she’s ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in her eyes
The prize is hers to win
She’s waitin’ on my blessings before she hits that
open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Please don’t go
Don’t go
Don’t go
She’s gotta do what she’s gotta do
She’s gotta do what she’s gotta do
I guess as Noah gets ever so much closer to 18, as Declan inches his way closer to double digits and Ziah and Taejan are getting closer to just being kids.. it hits me hard. I stop and look around at adults I know who’s kids are my age or slightly younger, who have their own lives.. it makes me sad. The logical side of me says not to spent time thinking about all this.. but I can’t help it. One day my kids will be grown, have lives of their own, where exactly does that leave us, the parents? I so need to still be in their lives.. I can only pray..pray hard I do this whole raising them right, so they don’t just disappear from our lives.
Ok I think too much time sick, hurt and now on the couch with a sick 2 year old has gotten to me! Back to the regularly scheduled blogging…
Mindless Ramblings!

The hardest part of raising boys is that to raise them right we have to ready them to leave us and to love some other chick more than us one day. *sigh* And girls growing up? I can’t even think on that one. Hee hee… I am sure your kiddos will still adore you and come aroudn often.

Oh I totally understand your pain. There is another song lately that I have been listening to. You should try to find the song “Cinderella” by Steven Curtis Chapman. It is a good one too.
