"Life is Waiting to Begin"

Many of you know that Joei and I lost our daughter last year when she was born stillborn. Many of you also know that the day she died was the turning point in my life (and Joei's). My eyes opened and God rushed in. I love music and have searched for a song that describes what that day was like for Joei and myself. Well, I have found it. It is by Angels and Airwaves (former bandmate of Blink 182 is a part of it).

It is called The Adventure and that is what all of us are on: an Adventure. We don't know what tomorrow is going to bring....we never will. The only thing we can do is wake up, rub our eyes, stretch our legs and face the day with a fierce determination which can only be matched by that of our Father. NEVER GIVE UP....EVER! Each day is different, each day is a gift and should be treated as such. Yesterday may have been bad but today is new...GET OUT THERE and LIVE! I live every day with the sole purpose that I am living my life as well as the one my daughter wasn't able to be a part of. She is my companion and when I go to bed each night I pray that I did my best...and if I didn't...well I will try again tomorrow. Because tomorrow is another beginning. What an adventure we have been given....thank you God.

The Adventure

I want to have the same last dream again. The one where I wake up and I'm alive.
Just as the four walls close me within. My eyes are opened up with pure sun light. I'm the first to knowMy dearest friendsEven if your hope has burned with timeAnything that's dead shall be re-grownAnd your vicious pain, your warning sign, you will be fine.Hey ohhh, here I amAnd here we go, lifes waiting to beginAny type of love it will be shownLike every single tree reached for the skyif your gonna fall Ill let you know, that I will pick you up like youfor II felt this thingI can't replaceWhere everyone was working for this goal where all the children leftwithout a trace, only to come back as pure as gold to recite this all.Hey ohhh, here I amAnd here we go, lifes waiting to begin, tonightI cannot live I cant breathe unless you do this with me..Hey ohhh, here I am. Do this with me. Here we go, lifes waiting to beginLifes waiting to begin.
