I just imagine not only myself as a mom someday but also just grown up me looking back at all the stages of me growing up. I may not be perfect, but I’ve gotten pretty darn far and I have to remind myself that I’m so proud of where I am today
I AM PROUD OF HOW FAR YOU'VE COME! YOU AREN'T PERFECT BUT OH, HOW CLOSE YOU ARE TO IT! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND SKILLED IN A WAY NO ONE ELSE CAN COMPARE! I love you -xoxx
I like to listen to this song and imagine my mom and my grandmother as little girls and remember that version of them is still inside and it helps me to have more compassion and kindness towards them
My birth parents died when I was a baby leaving me to grow up In orphanage this song makes me think of memories I’ve had with mom even tho they never happened ❤️
You will create beautiful memories with your children, providing them with the childhood you never had both as a child and as a parent simultaneously :)
I listened to this song when I was on my way to the vet with my kitty I grew up with (we rescued him from a pond when I was 7- we found him hurt and alone when he was just baby) I just had this sinking feeling that he was beginning his decline and this song just made me weep. I just knew that he was beginning to slip away and this song just fit so perfectly at the time. He ended up passing away about a month later. I was 23 at the time so I spend ages 7-23 with him and he meant everything to me. Every time I hear this song I think of our car ride home from the vet that day. I’ll miss you forever, Huey. Until we meet again, buddy 💔
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness And I have to sit down for a while The feeling that I'm losing her forever And without really entering her world I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter That funny little girl Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sleep in our eyes Her and me at the breakfast table Barely awake, I let precious time go by Then when she's gone There's that odd melancholy feeling And a sense of guilt I can't deny What happened to the wonderful adventures The places I had planned for us to go (Slipping through my fingers all the time) Well, some of that we did but most we didn't And why, I just don't know Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers Slipping through my fingers all the time Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
This song reminds me of my baby niece. Since the day that I found out about her, until her birth, I was so so happy. And I still am. She’s been a blessing in my life and I’m so thankful to my only sister for giving me such a beautiful niece 💖it’s been almost 4 months now since my nieces birth and watching her grow up is really hard for me because sooner or later she’s going to be a child, a teenager, and an adult. Hopefully she gets to live a long prosperous life 💖.
I imagine myself growing older, and my mom watching me grow older makes her want to let it all out. I’m so glad that she took care of me all these years and I’m still here right now.. 😊
it may be unfashionable to say [or think this] but one of the greatest contributions to our modern world is the English language and its ability in allowing such brilliant composers & lyricist such as Björn & Benny to reach into our hearts & minds through a unifying language. You imagine this sung in Cantonese, like cats on a hot tin roof !
Só o refrão me faz chorar tanto… Eu não sou mais a pequena criança que se animava com qualquer coisa que a fazia tão feliz. Eu escorreguei pelos meus próprios dedos 😢
" 2:59 " " being alone, and conscious two yards of loose earth was the sole barrier between us, i said to myself- “i'll have her in my arms again! if she be cold, i'll think it's the north wind that chills me; and if she be motionless, it is sleep”
I get so emotional with this song. I'm not a parent, but I have 3 younger siblings (im 17) and even though this song is written in context of a mother, I can't help but relate. Everytime I see my little sister wearing her mix matched Justice outfit with fuzzy boots and crazy hair as she plays with her barbies- my heart swells. Then it begins to hurt because I know that's not what she's doing. She's sitting across from me on the couch, laughing at something her boyfriend did during school that day, and then talking to me about how excited she is for her senior year. I then looked to my little brother who's wearing shorts, no shirt, and a spider-man cape as he runs around the house wild. But I rub my eyes and realize my brother is talking to my dad about what happened during his first middle school dance while he shows me cool action figures he saw online. Just as I feel my eyes beginning to sting with tears, my baby brother coo's from the little blanket he's spending tummy time on, and I smile at him. I look to my sister for a small moment but when I look back to my youngest brother, he is running around and jumping wildly on the couch, hopping from cushion to cushion as he babbles and yells. I can't stop the tears that have swelled in my eyes as I look at my siblings and realize they are growing right in front of my eyes. But I only really break down when I see my father and step-mother watching me as well with the same loving gaze, and I realize that they feel it too as they look to me, and I am no longer the 11 year old kid sticking her arms into her oversized sweatpants and chasing her laughing siblings. Growing up is a beautiful part of life, but it will never fail to make me cry.
Man I can't go through this song without thinking about my childhood cat that passed away two years ago and my brother who passed away six years ago... I can't go through the whole song not thinking of them watching me go through life and becoming a adult (I'm turning 18 in July). I don't feel good or confident as I should but this song makes me remember two souls that were there for me when I was sad or upset about something.
I imagine that i graduate from vocational highschool, just me, my mom and my dad sharing pictures together before i go to college, and looking back all the way from kindergarten, 13 years of growing up, happy and sad moment, wish that my sister could see this graduation of me😔😔
Why does this remind the Aura Of Princess Diana ? And its Drowning my heart in something i don't know how to explain 💔Like pain and stuffiness. Man I love this song

I lose everything after i choose to being chatolic , i lose my family, love and my job, i always listen this song when i miss them, but im sure thats everyhings gonna be ok, god always beside me and hold my right hand
(If anyone reads this sorry for bouncing around the story a lot) I remember when I lost my dad my mom she didn't want us to stay at the house because it reminded her of him we stayed with my aunt for a week she had her son his name was finn he was a young kid he was 5 when we met he was the nicest little kid but he's growing up and he's changing and it hurts because he is 9 now but my dad he had ideas he was a smart guy he but as a dad he still did his best to teach us things because he never had a dad he still did an amazing Job but now it's just my mom and she struggles but she still pulls through as a single mother but my dad he wanted to fix stereos and work on cars but the people he worked with were rude for no reason but he ended up never having time to do that so he lost intrest but it was still there iswear dude when he had that head injury I was so scared I would tell him dad I don't want you to go and he said we all have to go sometime and it would always make me cry I was 10 at the time I'm 15 now but when he passed we were away from the house the whole night when we had to get ready for the funeral my brother had to dig his grave and I had to bury him it was all because I wanted to go swimming that I can't help but feel I was the cause if only I didn't want to go swimming he would still be here with us I just there where so many things me and him would have done we had ideas but we couldn't get to them but I know now he would want me to follow my dream and express my ideas. Love you dad.

To ALL on here who moss their mum, just know that soon enough you Will see them again, this time never ever to part. Jesus doesn't lie this will happen.
