Hello Son, (continue from Call 82) (Wednesday, December 8)
That evening at home ...
That evening at home ...
Mom was preparing an entry for the SILENT THOTs blog for Thursday, the next day.
After she was done ...
She scheduled for it to be published at 7am on Thursday. However, for some reason, the entry appeared immediately on the blog that Wednesday night (around dinner time @ 8pm). She wasn't sure what she clicked wrong. She left it, and did not bother to delete and re-schedule.

There was an email from Aunty Barbara. :D
Aunty B had written at 4:52pm.
About the same time Mom was preparing and typing out the Silent Thot entry.

Mom began to read her email, and couldn't believe her eyes as she came to the second paragraph of the mail.
The second paragraph read:
Have you listen to Jim Brickman?
He is one of a kind - totally luv his songs - hear this song called The Gift - there is one verse that has these words and am sure you'll totally luv it :-

All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more every day
You saved my heart
from being broken apart
You gave your love away
and I'm thankful every day
for The Gift
The last line of the verse that Aunty B had written:
I'm thankful every day for The Gift.
Oh My ...
Just a short while ago, Mom had written in her SILENT THOT entry,
a small caption below your baby photo, the words :

"Thank You Lord, for the gift of Daniel."
SILENT THOT #15 : THE BERRY BUSH
Oh Boy ...
Honestly, what are the chances?
What are the chances of writing the line, Thank You Lord, for The Gift of Daniel, and shortly after that, in that same evening, receive a song entitled The Gift in her in-box?
Hmmm ...
You must have known that your mother would write that line, huh, and probably whispered to Aunty B to send that verse to Mom.

A coinciDANS, no doubt ... :D
Some kind of connection was happening, don't You think?
Obviously ...
Mom read on ...
There were 2 other Jim Brickman's songs she would have to check on later.

A broad smile came upon her face as she read Aunty B's ending :
"Here is wishing you & all your loved ones a "Blessed and Joyful Christmas" and don't 4get that Dan is celebrating it with our Lord round the banquet - now, how awesome can that be - incredible party up there - envy envy ... hopefully Dan can get 1st row sitting as newcomer hor ...

Meanwhile, here's the music video and the full lyrics of the song. Open a separate window for the video so You can view the lyrics at the same time and sing along.
It's a beautiful song, this one. <3
Jim Brickman & Anne Cochran
Winter snow is falling down
Children laughing all around
Lights are turning on
Like a fairy tale come true
Sittin' by the fire we made
You're the answer when I prayed
I would find someone
And, baby, I found you
And all I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart from being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful everyday
For The Gift
Watching as you softly sleep
What I'd give if I could keep
Just this moment
If only time stood still
But the colors fade away
And the years will make us gray
But, baby, in my eyes
You'll still be beautiful
And all I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart from being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful everyday
For The Gift
And all I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart from being broken apart
You gave your love away
I can't find the words to say
I'm thankful every day
For The Gift
