Landon's Song

Sometimes a perfect song is released that has the perfect lyrics - lyrics I wish I could claim as my own words. Sometimes I hear a song and internally dedicate it to someone special and every time I hear that song I automatically think of that special person or situation. When I was first pregnant with Landon, I Won’t Let Go by Rascal Flatts was released. I knew the first time I heard it that it would be the song I dedicate to Landon. Dylan, Addi and I all know it as Landon’s Song. That one terrible day Dylan and I drove to Great Falls, the day we thought Landon had died because he hadn’t moved in a long time, Landon's song played on the radio. Without any words between us, Dylan and I broke down and sobbed nearly the entire way to Great Falls. I felt I wasn’t going to get the chance to make the words in this song come true. Although I could not do more than love him throughout the time he was inside of me and throughout the time he was fighting to survive after he was born, my hope is he knows that I will literally do whatever it takes to take away his pain and make it my own.

I Won't Let Go
Song by Rascal Flatts

It's like a storm
That cuts a path
It's breaks your will
It feels like that

You think your lost
But you’re not lost on your own
You’re not alone

I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
If you can't cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won’t let go

It hurts my heart
To see you cry
I know it's dark
This part of life
Oh it finds us all
And we're too small
To stop the rain
Oh but when it rains

I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
And you can't cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight

And I won’t let you fall
Don't be afraid to fall
I'm right here to catch you
I won’t let you down
It won’t get you down

Your gonna make it
Yea I know you can make it

Cause I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
And you can't cope
And I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won’t let go
Oh I'm gonna hold you
And I won’t let go
Won’t let you go
No I won’t
