This is one of the several very touching songs selected for the video, I thought the words were very touching. I think that both Chad and I, as we look back to the past four months, are shocked at what we went through. At the time, we just did what we had to do. Now that we are choosing to and having to face the past it is harder on us now. It is hard to explain if you haven't been in these kind of shoes - but it is almost like you can't deal with it at the time, you just go on auto-pilot and then later go through all the emotions.
In My Daughter's Eyes Lyrics
Martina McBride
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes
- The Preister's

Hello. I recently found your blog online and over the past two days have read everyword, starting at the beginning. My daughter has NB, too - she is currently 19 and a half months old, and she was diagnosed at the end of February.
Her story is very similar to Charli Ann's. Your daughter is so beautiful and so strong, as is my own. I am in constant awe of this wonderful being in my life.
Every emotion you have had about your journey has been mirrored in me and my husband.
If you would like to chat about chemo, progress, or anything, you can e-mail me at deleriumk@yahoo.com.
God bless Charli Ann and the entire family.
Katrina
