I Won't Give Up

Go ahead and hit play, it's a lovely song even in the background if you aren't watching the video.

I love this song for a lot of reasons. But the biggest reason today is that it's my boys' favorite song.

I blast music in the kitchen while I make dinner and the boys are banished to the basement. But from the first chord of this song my boys (all 3 of them! Dad, and 2 sons) come running in for a dance.

Before you roll your eyes because when life isn't sunshine and lollipops someone who has this stupidly perfect and loving family who dances in the kitchen at dinner time makes you roll your eyes. But remember that I'm a WoPA. We have hell days and times that I quite literally get ready to pack Husband's bags.
My kids are dance buffers because the truth is that dancing with Husband gets a little too touchy feely sometimes. But with a boy on each hip and big group hug, we're bonding just the right amount.

But for some reason this song melts it all away. It became our anthem when we started our 6 months because for 6 months we wouldn't give up.

And now this song is ours.

I hope it's ours forever.

But if not, it can be mine. Because the truth is, that regardless of what he does or doesn't do in addiciton recovery or any other aspect of his life I am working out my own salvation. And I won't give up on me.
