Chloe's Song --- Love Me



Since Lucas had his own song, I think it is only right that we had to have a song for Chloe too. Actually the thought of getting Chloe a song did not occur to me at all and it all came about when I was writing her a card that was tied to a small bouquet of roses that was cremated along with her.

I wanted the words on that card to be simple, yet able to express what I wanted to tell her. Out of the blue, part of the lyrics of one song came to my mind:


If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Til I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, Me.


Obviously this is a love song between a couple, but the words convey my message to my little princess and her brother. Although I loved the meaning behind all those words, it was a tad too long for my liking, so I ended up shortening and modifying it a little on the card:



Between Now and Then

Till We See You Again

We'll Be Loving You



The DIY bouquet and card for Chloe...



** My little princess Chloe, I hope you got mummy's message and liked the flowers we got for you...



Love, Me
By Collin Raye


I read a note my Grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me
He said, "Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I love your Grandma so.

We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together
Get married in the first town we came to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter, and this is what it said :

"If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be

But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Til I see you again

I'll be loving you
Love, Me."
