The Scientist By Coldplay

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart.

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start.

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart.

But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are.

No one ever said it would be this hard
I'm going back to the start.

The Fourth of July is always full of fun for us. We attend bbq's. We have drinks with friends. We enjoy our neighbor's fireworks. We saw Allen-David walk in a parade today with his coworkers. It's beautiful outside and I am happy. We are happy.
The Fourth of July is also the anniversary of the first time we heard the word leukemia attached to our then 3-year-old, Jared. I, honestly, dismissed the word as quickly as I heard it. And then, later that afternoon, I rolled it around on my tongue. It still seemed impossible that Jared could have cancer. He wasn't a stranger on a fundraising TV show. He wasn't a bald kid on a St. Jude's commercial. He was the little boy that I gave birth to. He was our baby.
Every Fourth of July, I think about those first few days in the hospital. We were scared, shocked and angry. We snuggled a lot. We sang the pirate song a lot. I'm so grateful for that time we spent with him. Jared was truly a gift.
I hope that you all have a wonderful fourth. We will. And when the balloons were released at the parade, I thought of him. When the fireworks burst, he'll be on my mind. And when the neighborhood kids wave their sparklers, Jared will fill my heart.
I am truly happy and full of life. Even while I remember and miss him.
