I was touched.
And I learned what love is,
and I learned what love is;
I was blessed, soo blessed
Coz' I learned what love is.
I learned what love is
From loving you.
I held you; I held everything,
I ever dreamed of.
With that first kiss from you,
All this world seemed oh so right.
But who was to see,
The way it would be.
" Angel, lay back down; I'll get that for you." I made Miranda lay still as I grabbed her blanket off the floor with her.
"Brian, you know I love you, but please- don't spaz on me every time I go to reach for something. I'm not made of glass; I won't break." I nodded, biting my lip as I looked into her eyes. " Come here..." She beckoned to me with her finger. I smirked, kneeling beside her on the bed, cupping her face gently in my hands, " I love you Brian Thomas Littrell." She whispered as I claimed her mouth in a sweet kiss.
I'll never forget;
All the Heaven we shared.
And I'll thank God for every moment;
Every moment that I had you there
I pulled back and kissed each cheek before replying, " I love you to Miranda Sue Littrell." I gently laid down beside her, wrapping my arms around her now slender frame. We both heard the pitter patter of Brianna's feet and giggled.
"Mommy...daddy...can I sleep wid' you?" She came to the door, hair a mess and sucking on her thumb. I held my arms out to her and she ran into them and I swung her up on the bed between us. " Brianna kisses..." Miranda and I both kissed her little face all over. " Love yous..." She sighed, snuggling up between us, one arm around each of us.
" We love you too.." We both said at the same time, lying down for a good night's sleep.
Coz' I was loved
I was touched.
And I learned what love is,
and I learned what love is;
I was blessed, soo blessed
Coz' I learned what love is.
I learned what love is
From loving you.
I stood outside the hospital door as they worked on saving my wife's life. My eyes wandered for a moment to Nick pacing with Brianna in his arms. They were close; Miranda and Nick, almost as close as I was to both of them. I quickly turned my head back to the door and gasped when I saw them pull out the paddles. I burst through the door, there was no way she was going through this alone. The nurse tried to push me away , screaming something about Hospital policy. I don't know what I said; I can't remember words, all I remember is that nurse backing away with tears in her eyes-letting me see my angel. I chocked back my tears as I bit my nails watching them shock her time and time again. Then I heard it.
"Time of death, 3:15 a.m." I screamed, at least I think I did.
"No...doctor you don't understand, she was playing with our daughter today! She's fine; please! Please just try again." I rushed to her, pushing the sheet they were trying to cover her up with away. I shook her lightly, "Angel, Miranda please wake up- baby. Ohh God...baby no...you have to be here! Brianna turns 3 next week. How am I supposed to live without you? How do I take care of Brianna? Please doctor, please?" I begged, falling to the floor on my knees, clutching my wife's hand.
