i'm gonna love you through it - martina mcbride

#nowplaying i'm gonna love you through it - martina mcbride #lyrics @elyrics

Found this today and read it to my husband. He has done more than his fair share thru this journey with me.
I did not know this song existed until tonight when I turned on The Voice. One of the contestants came on soon after I turned on the show and she sang this song. I remember thinking to myself, this seems like my story. I decided to look it up and it was pretty much my story in a nutshell.
It has been a good day but some tough stories to hear about. The Angelina Jolie story has made me realize how lucky some can be when it comes to cancer. She was lucky enough to figure out she has a gene that could give her breast cancer. Although it is still scary and she had to still go thru surgery and change her body. It is not easy stuff. I am sure she was scared and thinking of her children.
I also had another story on my mind tonight that goes with the other. A kindergarten teacher at my son's school passed away yesterday unexpectantly. When I heard the news I was not sure if she was older or younger. Well, today I found out she was only 41 and was also pregnant. She passed away in her sleep. The school is terribly hurt and destroyed by this news and the children are taking it very hard that were in her class. I pray for her family and her students. This life is a funny thing. One never knows where they stand in it all one can do is live by their faith and try not to live in fear or try to control the universe (so to speak) because the universe is not ours to control...nothing is except to love our families and to laugh as often as possible.
I shared the lyrics to the song above for anyone who wants to read them.
