Anything But Gray

A couple of years ago, Zachary made me a picture cd for Christmas.
He set it to music and it is amazing.
Hands down, the best gift he has ever given me.
It is pictures of us throughout our marriage, with the kids, family and friends all in it. 
I actually cannot believe I haven't posted it on here.
The 2 songs he used for the cd are Bon Jovi (of course!) and they are
"You Want to Make a Memory"
and
"There's a Whole Lot of Leavin' Going On."

'You Want to Make a Memory" was pretty popular and they played it a lot on the radio but the other one…"There's a Whole Lot of Leaving Going On"..that one wasn't as popular, but it is one of my absolute favorite Bon Jovi songs. I adore that song…and it means a lot to me, for a lot of reasons.
So it was incredible that he knew to use that song and it is just perfect for the cd he made.
He nailed it….:-)
 
To this day, I cannot watch the cd without crying.
Nor can anyone else.
Pretty much everyone who has watched it, is reduced to tears.

I was showing my cousin Sean and my auntie the cd when they came last week to visit. My mother hadn't seen it yet either. (I can't believe that wasn't the first thing I did when she arrived!!) and of course, everyone is in tears. Including me. As always….
I'll have to post it on here soon….it really is incredible.

Anyway, today after I picked up Ben from school, we are driving back home and "There's a Whole Lot of Leaving Going On" comes on….
Ben says to me, when he hears the song start…from the very first note, he knew the song….
"Hey, this is the song that Jaime and I cry because we miss Uncle Marky…."
(This song starts playing on the cd during pictures of Marky getting on the ferry when he left Alaska….)

My heart literally skipped a beat and I gasped slightly as tears came to my eyes….
My boy…my son….gets it….he's got the same adoration for and connection to music that I do.
And moments like this is when it shows….when he proves it.
And I love it….

I don't have the cd uploaded right now and Zak has it because he was trying to upload it to YouTube.
So I'll leave you with this instead, for now.

Enjoy!
