This is her fight song

Little Miss loves the song: This is my fight song by Rachel Platten. She's got a few tunes that are her favorite and she loves to request one of her favs and then belt it the best she can.

I realize I am like a ridiculous blubbering mess half the time, but I cannot listen to her sing This is my fight song without tearing up. There are certain lyrics that just feel so appropriate for her. And she has fought so hard.

She wanted to speak to us for so long and it was such a difficult feat getting her feelings and thoughts across... So, when Little Miss and Rachel sing the words -->

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?


I cry.
I can't help it--being the ridiculous blubberer that I am. I just cry.
We can finally hear her voice.
She can finally tell us the stories in her head.
She reminds me everyday-- and I pray I'll never forget to take such things, like a voice, for granted.
