Temporary Home

Happy Birthday, baby girl!
No, it isn't some specific milestone but today is the 2nd of the Month which means you would have been 17 months old - almost 1 1/2 years old. I can't believe how time flies! I think of you always but especially on your birthday. I wonder what milestones we would be celebrating. But I know that one day we will be together to celebrate everything together. This song reminds me of you every time I hear it. Only part of it really pertains to you but I just have to keep remembering that this Earth was just your "Temporary Home" and one day Me, your Daddy, and your Brothers will all be together with you again - in our Heavenly Home.
Love you, sweet Bailey!

TEMPORARY HOME
(sung by Carrie Underwood)

Little boy, 6 years old
A little too used to bein' alone
Another new mom and dad, another school
Another house that'll never be home
When people ask him how he likes this place
He looks up and says with a smile upon his face
"This is my temporary home
It's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know this is my Temporary Home."

Young mom on her own
She needs a little help, got nowhere to go
She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out
Because a half-way house will never be a home
At night she whispers to her baby girl
Someday we'll find a place here in this world
"This is our temporary home
It's not where we belong
Windows and rooms that we're passin' through
This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going
I'm not afraid because I know this is our Temporary Home."

Old man, hospital bed
The room is filled with people he loves
And he whispers don't cry for me I'll see you all someday
He looks up and says "I can see God's face."
"This is my temporary home
It's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
This was just a stop, on the way to where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know this was my Temporary Home."

This is our Temporary Home.
