I'd Choose You Again

Can't sleep for some reason tonight (check the time on this post!) -- and am sitting here filled with love and gratitude for Mark. I don't say much about him but that doesn't mean I don't feel a lot about him and for him. He's wonderful. He's quiet, but deep. He's reserved but funny as can be. He's very bright and has a mind that hones quickly in on the main issue of anything. He loves his parents and his sisters, he loves his kids, he adores his grandkids and he loves me. Which is not always so easy. I am so blessed to have him in my life and I know it.

There's an old song done by the Forester Sisters ( in the '80's I think) called "I'd Choose You Again" that's been going through my head all night. (maybe that's why I can't sleep!) Take a listen to it and see what I mean. Very powerful words, I think.

"Looking in my life through the eyes of a young girl

Growing older all the time, maybe just a little wiser,

I can clearly see all my mistakes keep coming back to visit me,

Pointing out the roads not taken.

So much I'd like to change but one thing I'd do the same,

I'd choose you again, I'd choose you again.

If God gave me the chance to do it all again.

Oh, I'd carefully consider every choice and then

Out of all the boys in the world I'd choose you again

Times weren't always good.

Seems like the Lord gave all the easy parts away.

But every time the road got rocky, you'd look at me and say

You had all you needed long as I was there with you.

You're the reason I kept going.

If I could start my life anew, the first thing that I would do,

I'd choose you again, I'd choose you again

If God gave me the chance to do it all again

Oh, I'd carefully consider every choice and then

I'd listen to my heart and I'd choose you again.

You again, you again."

I would. And I hope he would too.
