You Were Loved

We all want to make our place in this world;
We all want our voices to be heard.
Everyone wants a chance to be someone;

We all have dreams we need to dream,
But sweeter than any star you can reach
Is when you reach and find you've found someone.

You'll hold this world's most priceless thing,
The greatest gift this life can bring,
If you can look back and know
You were loved.

Chorus
You were loved by someone,
Touched by someone,
Held by someone,
Meant something to someone,
Loved somebody,
Touched somebody's heart along the way.
You can look back and say,
You were loved.

You can have diamonds in your hand,
Have all the riches in the land,
Without love do you really have a thing.

When someone cares that you're alive,
When someone finds their world in your eyes,
Then you'll know you've found all you need.

You'll hold this world's most priceless prize,
The sweetest treasure in this life,
If you can look back and know
You were loved.

Chorus
So many roads that you can take,
Whatever way you go,
Don't take that road alone.
Better you know....
You were loved by someone,
Touched by someone,
Held by someone,
Meant something to someone,
Loved somebody,
Touched somebody's heart along the way.
You can look back and say,
You did ok
You were loved.
So remember to tell that one,
You are loved.


I am posting this for all of us.  I want to remember and I want you to remember that one of the reasons we hurt so much... Our children were and are loved.  I'm typing a message to Cara...  If you want to type a message to your angel please do.  Yes it hurts and it will hurt...  but I am able to say again, today, mostly because of you all reaching out to me yesterday... that I am able for this moment to say, I am more grateful that Cara lived than grieving that she died...  Thank You  Hugs From Elissa and Cara

I love you Cara.  I always have.  I always will.  Mama

Elissa,
This is beautiful and touches me deeply. I reach out to give you a tight hug during this time and hope the depression will lift soon. It is hard to see my friends hurt, especially you because your heart is already broken.
Sending you love,
