"Stand By You"

Have you ever had a song that just seems to hit you EVERY time you hear it?  I go through spurts with different songs, but this week it has definitely been Rascal Flatts - I Won't Let Go. 

"I will stand by you. I will help you through. When you've done all you can do, and you can't cope. I will dry your eyes. I will fight your fight. I will hold you tight, and I won't let go."

It brings me to tears every time I hear it, and I think it's for two different reasons. 

One is because it makes me miss having Robert with me to "stand by me" through everything that was thrown our way.  We had a remarkable relationship and we were there to support each other through it all. I just hate that it had to end so early, and I don't get to move forward with him "standing by me".

The second reason is I get overwhelmed with the people who have stood by me since April 23. There's those people that check in with me weekly or even daily with calls, texts, even Facebook messages just to let me know they care and they've been thinking of me.  I don't want to create a list because I just know I'd forget someone and I wouldn't want to do that. Just know that I appreciate each and everyone who reaches out to me. I have an amazing support system that I know will be here for me no matter how crazy my emotions get.  Thank you to those family members and close friends that have stood by me. I'm so thankful that you've been placed in my life especially at a time when I need it the most.
