All Of Me

Afraid to love
Something that could break
Could I move on
If you were torn away
And I'm so close
To what I can't control
I can't give you half my heart
And pray He makes you whole

You're gonna have all of me
You're gonna have all of me
'Cause you're worth every falling tear
You're worth facing any fear
You're gonna know all my love
Even if it's not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts
But give you all of me
Is where I'll start

I won't let sadness
Steal you from my arms
I won't let pain keep you from my heart
I'll trade the fear of all that I could lose
For every moment I'll share with you

Heaven brought you to this moment
It's too wonderful to speak 
You're worth all of me 
You're worth all of me
So let me recklessly love you
Even if I bleed
You're worth all of me
You're worth all of me

This song was sung at Elliott's funeral..
The first time I heard it I felt like it was written just for Elliott, Joe and I. 

I pray everyday that Elliott knows how much I love her, how much I loved her while she was in my womb, even on those incredibly sad days where all I could do was sit and cry as I felt her kicks and knew the time would come all to soon when I wouldn't feel her. 

I pray she knows how hard her daddy fell in love with her the minute she was placed in his hands and how for the hour we had with her we did the best we could to show her our love. And how she holds the biggest place in our hearts and how much we will love her for the rest of our lives.

  1. I hadn't heard that song before the funeral and then one day I was listening to K-Love on the radio and heard it. I immediately recognized it and googled it and read the story behind it....beautiful song! You could have written this song! You truly live this song... I really love it and now everytime I hear it I think of your sweet baby Elliott and how much you love her. One thing I am for sure of is how much Elliott know you and Joe love her!

  2. The first time I heard that song I thought of you and Elliott. She knows how much you love her and how much you loved feeling her so close to you while you were pregnant. The hour she was able to spend with you and Joe was filled with more love than a lifetime. You and Joe are amazing parents and your baby girl will always know she is loved and cherished.

    Love Jordan and Abbie
