All of Me

Ashley has continued to send me reassuring text messages about Alissa being our daughter. Next week is the 1st doctor's appointment we will go with her. We are excited about this opportunity....to be able to get to know Ashley, to go to doctor's appointments, to possibly be in the delivery, and to be close to our baby while she is in Ashley's belly. It's an amazing opportunity. And now Ashley has told me she would really like to go to the birthing classes...and she wants me to go with her. Another amazing chance to be close to you, our Alissa, and to Ashley as well. Guess I am gonna be spending a lot of time driving back and forth the Niagara Falls! I sent a couple of friends a message the other day saying "God help me if this doesn't work out! Because I am ALL in." One of my friends responded saying that reminds her of a Matt Hammitt song called "All of Me", and she said "You gotta be all in. It's your child. How could you not give your whole self." I hadn't heard of that song so I looked it up online and listened to it. It is so perfect, it brought me to tears! And later in the day I had Jason listen to it, too and he loved it as well. Here are the perfectly beautiful lyrics:
