Forever Yours

I have a confession...I listen to Christian radio. Don't judge.  One day I stumbled upon Positive 89.3, a Portland station whose motto is "the right song at the right time".  I heard the song "Born Again" by Third Day and I listened to it hundreds of times, it got me through my worst days and gave me hope in my most hopeless of times.  I needed that song and I believe that I heard it on that long drive home from MGH for a reason. I made Alec listen to it, over and over again too.  It is a song about hope and new beginings and finding God and it lifted my spirits and I believe both Alec and I were indeed "Born Again" through our journey. 

Then there was the song "I've always loved you", also by Third Day, which is a song I used for Alec's slideshow, at his funeral and I thought that song was so fitting.  I felt like it was Alec, talking to me, to Chase, his family and his friends, through the words of that song.

And a few months ago, I heard the song "Forever Yours".  I think Alec wrote this song for me, I know I sound crazy, but its true, he wrote it for me.  I needed to hear it.  It was the right song at the right time.  I love this song and I love you Alec.

"Forever Yours"


Hello to you, my love
I hope that you're doing well
I miss you so much
How I wish that I were there

There is a reason for everything
And there is hope, so don't let go
There's something more
Remember always
I'll remain forever yours
Forever yours

Oh, memories will fade
But don't let your heart forget
You'll see me again
But that day is not here yet

Sometimes you can't remember
Sometimes you can't forget
Sometimes you gotta do what must be done
And I'll love you forever and so until the end

I'll keep on holding on
Will you keep on holding on

When it's time to leave this world
And reach the other side
I'll wait for you upon that distant shore
For I have made a promise
And I hope you won't forget
I will always remain forever yours

Somewhere far beyond this place
And in another time
I know we'll be together once again
For I have made a promise
And I hope you won't forget
I will always remain forever yours

Forever yours
I have made a promise
And I hope you won't forget
That I'll always remain forever yours
Forever yours



And, best of all, for Christmas Jill got me and my Mom tickets to the Third Day concert in March.  I am beyond excited about this!  I serisouly can not wait.  It is going to be incredible and I am sure Alec will be there too!

If you need a new song or two to download to itunes, these are my three favorite, but any of them by Third Day is amazing.  And, 89.3 is a really great station.  Love me some Christian Rock!
