MyPod Birthday Shuffle IV - Day 7 - You Needed Me

"You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me"

What song could be more about unconditional love than this one?

I always think about my mom when I hear this song.

To say we had a tumultuous relationship during my

teen years would be an understatement.

I really hated her at times.

The somewhere around my second year of college

things started to change.  I was facing some real

struggles in my life for the first time and 

suddenly it seemed I had someone to talk to who

really supported me and everything I did.

I think that was the start of turning our relationship around

to the point that now I can't imagine my life without

my mother around to talk to, to get advise from,

to boost me up when I am down,

and to just be there...

I have the original Anne Murray version on my iPod, but I like this

version as well... enjoy!

And give your Momma a call or a hug or a prayer today...
