“I Lived” – One Republic
Hope when you take that jump, you don't fear the fall
Hope when the water rises, you built a wall
Hope when the crowd screams out, they're screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs, you choose to stay
Hope that you fall in love, and it hurts so bad
The only way you can know is give it all you have
And I hope that you don't suffer but take the pain
Hope when the moment comes, you'll say...
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived
Hope that you spend your days, but they all add up
And when that sun goes down, hope you raise your cup
Oh, I wish that I could witness all your joy and all your pain
But until my moment comes, I'll say...
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived
With every broken bone, I swear I lived.
With every broken bone, I swear I...
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived.
I swear I lived.

Theo is one of the most beautiful people I have ever known in my life. I have no words to describe the emptiness in my days right now, so I will borrow the lyrics of a song:
"Shiny and sparkly and splendidly bright
Here one day, Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon"
I simply have no words. My heart has been wrenched out of my chest, slammed on the ground, stomped on, covered with mud, picked up, and thrown in my face! That's how I feel without my Theo. I will keep all the voicemails and the texts to comfort me. I know I am being selfish, wishing you were still here although you were in pain. But the good Lord should have healed you so that you could stay with us. To me, that would have been kinder to those of us left behind. I love you with every fiber of my being. Rest, rest, rest in perfect peace. I will see you again by and by.
