I'm everything I am because you loved me
It's the night before the big day and I find myself in the kitchen, cooking with my sweet Minette sleeping under a chair in the kitchen. I sing along to some music to lighten my spirits and a song comes on: Because you loved me by Celine Dion (Yes, I sing along to Celine Dion, yes I know all the words and have most of the CD's... you caught me :P ). After singing the first couple of verses, I stop what I am doing and burst into tears.
Through blurred eyes I look at Minette and sing the rest of the song in a quiet quivering voice. I sing it to her because for the past 11 years she has been my constant support, the one that I have loved unconditionally and has loved me back no matter what.
I have decided that tomorrow I am going to the vet with her. I want to talk to the vet myself so that I can hear it from them. That way I will know I did the right thing no matter what. It'll be interesting to see what the next 24 hours bring.
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

WE are thinking of You Janelle and of Minette and the sweet memories of her, times spent together, and scratches of Pur-r-r-r fection. We will carry these our hearts forever. She will be surly missed but never forgotten.
Love and Hugs
Steve & Marcy.
