Brooke’s Song

Last August when Julia & Molly went to Spokane to pick up Brooke, I was hanging out in Camano with MacKenzie.  It was a beautifully warm day in August and I took this picture (yes it really was this one – I got it off my phone!) to send to Julia.  It was title something like “hurry Mommy bring my sister home”.  For some reason I was never able to get the message to send, it kept erroring.  About this same time this song was playing on the radio Home by Michael Buble. 

I remember shivering when I heard this song, at that time we still had no idea of what was about to happen.  The words that kept running through my head was “I wanna go Home, I miss you”.  I remembered shivering and when things started to fall out of place, it bugged me even more.

After Brooke was taken away from us, every time I heard this song I had to change the channel.  I immediately would go back to that moment with MacKenzie last August, the shivering I felt when I heard the words.  I always thought the song was beautiful but I could no longer listen to it because it reminded me of all the pain. 

I hadn’t heard the song in a long time, and tonight on my way home from school I heard it.  I once again went back to that moment, with MacKenzie last August, but this time I had a smile on my face and chose to listen to it!!  This time I finally knew that Brooke is finally home.

I wanted to share this song with you all, it’s a beautiful song and I’m happy to finally be able to listen to it again with happy memories!!  Every time I hear this song I will remember Brooke, it’ll always be Brooke’s song to me.



Welcome Home Brooke, I’ve missed you!!
