Sydney the Princess

Sydney the Princess

I continue to be inspired by the courage and strength of Sylvie Stephens as she remains determined to fill Sydney’s days with love and happiness.  Here is her most recent letter from Caring Bridge:

Happy Birthday Sydney!  Happy six months, baby!  :)

Someone printed out the lyrics to the song “Awake” this morning and left it at bedside, along with a couple of verses.  I have no idea who!  One of the “angels…”

“Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or terrified, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you or forsake you.”  Deuteronomy 31:6

“For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”  Isaiah 41:13

Awake

A beautiful and blinding morning
The world outside begins to breathe
See clouds arriving without warning
I need you here to shelter me

And I know that only time will tell us how
To carry on without each other

So keep me awake to memorize you
Give me more time to feel this way
We can’t stay like this forever
But I can have you next to me today

If I could make these moments endless
If I could stop the winds of change

If we just keep our eyes wide open
Then everything would stay the same

And I know that only time will tell me how
We’ll carry on without each other

So keep me awake for every moment
Give us more time to be this way
We can’t stay like this forever
But I can have you next to me today

We’ll let tomorrow wait, you’re here, right now, with me
All my fears just fall away, when you are all I see
We can’t stay this way forever
But I have you here today

And I will remember
Oh I will remember
Remember all the love we shared today

Each night before I fall asleep, I just stare at Sydney.  I wonder each night if it is my last with her.  Each morning I wake up and thank God I have another day with her.  But, I do not feel sad thinking this, just grateful.  I feel at peace.  I pray to God that when she goes, I am with her, and we are both at peace.
