Love and the Three of Us

I always refer to my mom, my sister, Brytten, and myself as 'the three of us.' We have been one unit for as long as I can remember and we just go together. We are sisters, daughters, and friends. Nearly three years ago my mom got all three of us a simple ring that is a silver band with "May Your Wildest Dreams Come True" engraved around the outside. I have worn it every day since and my mom calls them our solidarity rings. Today is my mom's birthday which comes at a time during a very transitional stage for all three of us. I hope that she finds her next adventure during this next Jenny-year!

I heard this song on John's satellite radio as we were on our way to the Bighorns this summer. It was then stuck in my head for the rest of the trip and I have been a big fan ever since. The lyrics are beautiful and seem fitting for any day but particularly today.

If I were the sea I would love to see you smile at me
Walk the shore a mile with me 
If I were the trees I would love to shade you with my leaves 
I'd clean the air for you to breathe 
If I were you, I would love I would love I would love 
If I were a song I would love to be a symphony 
All together in harmony 
If I were the earth I would love to give you all that you need 
But you keep taking more from me 
If I were you, I would love I would love I would love 
Should it be so bad 
To want to do something good 
When this world tries to bring me down 
I would love I would love I would love 
If I were a book I would love to educate the youth 
Open minds by telling the truth 
If I were a pen I would love to write to your friend 
I’d be so proud of the love we send 
If I were you, I would love I would love I would love 
Should it be so bad 
To want to do something good 
If this life tries to get me down I would love I would love I would love 
If I were money I would love to end poverty 
Instead they keep on wasting me 
If I were a gun I would love to never kill anyone 
Melt me down and make me something fun 
If I were you, I would love I would love I would love


Today is also Talk Like a Pirate Day which ironically coincides with my Mom's birthday. 
Aaaaargh Matey!
