This song, Rolling in the Deep by Adele, was playing on my car radio when we drove to the hospital to deliver Kayla. I hadn't really ever heard it before, but the lyric "we could have had it all" stuck with me in the following days as I numbly tried to accept that our daughter wouldn't be coming home alive.
We really could have had it all, we DID have it all, it seemed. My husband and I have a great, strong relationship and we have already been through a lot together because of immigration issues, and we were just so excited to be creating our perfect little family.

The scars of your love remind me of us,
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
I can't help feeling,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),
Wow. My husband and I call this Allie's song and we were not really sure why. I have a feeling we heard it on the way to the hospital, too. It haunts me whenever I hear it and yet I like it so very much. We, too, could have had it all...
ReplyDeleteI keep hearing this song on the radio too and feel the same way.
ReplyDeletehmm I guess I am not embedding the video right, oh well. It is definitely a haunting song, but I like it too because it is so raw.
