So many of you know that Brian and I are HUGE Kenny Chesney fans. So when I heard his new song, I'm Alive (playing in the background), with one of our other favorite artists, Dave Mathews, I was in awe. It reminded me of everything Caleb, Brian, and I have been through. It feels like it is our theme song. I tear up every time I hear it, remembering all that we have been through. Never take a breathe for granted....
Here are the lyrics:
I'm Alive lyrics
Kenny Chesney, Feat - Dave Matthews
So damn easy to say that life's so hard
Everybody's got their share of battle scars
As for me I'd like to thank my lucky stars that
I'm alive and well
It'd be easy to add up all the pain
And all the dreams you've sat and watch go up in flames
Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
But not me... I'm alive
And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm alive and well
I'm alive and well
Stars are dancin' on the water here tonight
It's good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight
This motor's caught its wind and brought me back to life
Now I'm alive and well
And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
Now I'm alive and well
Yeah I'm alive and well
God Bless you all!!
God Bless Caleb!!
Caleb was born with two rare syndromes, CHARGE and DiGeorge. Caleb is the 6th person in the world born with both syndromes. CHARGE is a multisystem-effecting syndrome which can cause several severe anomolies. DiGeorge prevented Caleb from developing an immune system. He spent over a year straight in the hospital, had multiple surgeries with a possibility of having more in the future. This blog details his heroic journey and story. God Bless Caleb!!
Ephesians 3:20 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us"

That is a beautiful song, and you're right it is absolutely perfect for your past few years. You have been amazing and Caleb simply is miraculous! Looking forward to meeting you sometime soon...maybe next time I head back to WV.
