Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

One of my favorite songs, with a memory jar deposit. I have seen 3 different rainbows this month. Did you know that babies that come after loss are called "rainbow babies"? Well, I think seeing 3 rainbows in a weeks time is enough of a sign to these weary parents that..."the dreams you dare to dream, really do come true". Maybe a rainbow baby is in our future. Maybe the plan is starting to make sense. Maybe good things come to those who wait. Maybe the dreams will become a new reality and turn around this nightmare. Maybe the most beautiful and perfect baby is being prepared for us. Maybe Jackson has it all under control.

Somewhere over this rainbow is where you'll find me. Dreaming. Loving. Wishing. Hoping. Praying.

We love you Jackson Neil DeLoach.

Thank You for this rainbow and Thank You for the promise that it brings!

JND and Rainbow Babies. Good stuff right there. We want all of it and then some. Someday, somewhere over the rainbow we will have all of it. For now, we have our angel, a lot of hope, and now some rainbows.

Love,
Emily and Russ
