You are probably sick of hearing about Kindergarten but hang in there for one more post and then you can hear about 1st grade for a whole year:) Just get ready you moms of preschoolers. It is rough!
Starting Monday the tears started flowing! Wednesday was the whip at graduation. I was the Mom that was having to take deep breaths to keep from making snorting noises b/c I was crying so stinkin' hard. Malaya was up on the risers in her beautiful curls. She looked so big. She sang her little songs with such energy and passion. We yelled and screamed for her when she got her certificate. I was so proud of her. I just can not believe she is 6 years old and just finished Kinder! Malaya's teacher has been such a special person for me and Malaya. She and I grew very close and we became great friends. We refused to say goodbye today b/c we couldn't stop crying! Yes, I tend to be a sap at times:)
Okay, I will move on with it...Keeping with the crying theme...
13 songs that make me cry:
1) "Let Them Be Little" - by Billy Dean (This song was the culprit of a lot of my tears yesterday! This is a must have song for all moms! Look it up and see if you don't cry!)
2) "I Will Remember You" - Sarah McGlothlin (Second song that made me cry yesterday and makes me cry on our Senior Kojie video!)
3) Any song my brother Jonathan sings. (His voice is so pure!)
4) "It is Well With My Soul" - I cry for one of two reasons: In gratefulness and praise that Jesus has made "it" well OR in repentence and disgust that the devil has made my heart NOT well with "It".
5) Whatever song they play on GH when it is a Jason/Sam scene. (Not even a big JaSam fan, but just the melody of the song makes me tear up.)
6) "Make You Proud" - New American Idol, Taylor Hicks (I know I just heard it last night, but I still cried!)
7) "A Bridge Over Troubled Waters" - Michael W. Smith version (don't know why it makes me cry??)
8) "I Will Be Here" - Steven Curtis Chapman - Once again, when my bro. Jonathan sings this it makes me cry.
9) Hearing Malaya sing. "I Am a Promise", " Jesus, Be the Center", "Jesus is Able" and on and on....
10) "It's All About You" - Passion
11) "This is My Desire" - Jeremy Camp
12) Almost every Phantom of the Opera song
13) Drum Roll Please... And don't laugh, The Last song in Grease, "Always Be Together"; When Olivia Newton John turns around and waves to all her friends, the tears well up.
Maybe I am more of a sap than I thought!!

I always tear up during that song in Grease too! What special memories you have of Malaya in school. I hope her first grade teacher is just as much a friend to you as the K teacher has been.
So charming! I just love that sweet little angel! I bet she sparkled up on stage yesterday! It's so amazing how some images are burned into the heart of our soul and that at a moments notice can recall with intense treasured joy! I am blessed through your blessings Jenny! I don't know some of your songs...but yes, the other ones and some of my own break me down to the core! I'm with ya It IS hard to silence those snorts! I've been there or shall I say am there often! I went to my niece’s graduation yesterday and cried...So emotional and literally it seems as though right before our eyes as if it was on an elapsed time video or something, they grow up even though it is ever so slightly..It is a very distinct change!
God truly delights over you! I love you guys.
I thought I heard a snort from your direction yesterday!!!!!
I love your song list! Of course the GH one - no clue - but they used to play great music when I had no choice but to watch it - ha! A song I'm shocked and surpried that did not make your list - How Beautiful sung by YOU!!! Always tears up any listener - especially your daddy - but your bro and your sil and their friends and my friends and me!
I am delighted summer is here and we can hang out more!!! Let's start tomorrow!
YEA MALAYA!
Your mother is right! I tear up every time I hear you sing "How Beautiful." But you could make me do that with any song you sing. Talk about a pure voice! I still think you should try out for American Idol. I'd be standing there boo-hooing like Katherine's dad.
I would also tear up during GH if I was watching it, but for different reasons.
Jenny, I would LOVE it if you were on American Idol. I will host the watching parties....
You make me laugh. How Beautiful is one of my favorites,and I would love to hear you sing it!
What? No Nicole Nordeman song? What is wrong with you? :)
I know,Melanie! I need more like a Friday Fifteen for this topic! Nichole's lyrics do make me cry especially her song, The Offering. Huge monumental song in my life.
