To Get Me To You - The Inspiration

I first heard this song in the movie Hope Floats.  That was a long time before my journey through infertility ever began.

And who didn't love the movie Hope Floats, right?  So the soundtrack was purchased and listened to hundreds of times.

Fast forward a several years.  The soundtrack has now been loaded onto my iPod.  We are pregnant with Carder and I am driving down the road.  The shuffle begins to play this song I have heard hundreds of times.

And even though I know this song was meant to be about finding the love of your life in a romantic sense, I feel the tiny life inside of me move.  I cry as I listen to the lyrics.

I couldn't stop the tears from flowing as I realized that I didn't regret ONE. SINGLE. MOMENT. of the journey it took to bring him into our lives. 

Not one failed cycle.  Not one single tear that fell onto a negative HPT.  Not even a single time our path to growing our family changed.  It was just what we had to do...

My thanks to Lila McCann for singing such an inspirational song.

The Lyrics...

To Get Me To You

Well I, I still can remember times
When the night seemed to surround me
I was sure the sun would never shine on me
And I, I thought it my destiny
To walk this world alone
But now you're here with me
Now you're here with me

And I don't regret the rain
Or the nights I felt the pain
Or the tears I had to cry
Some of those times along the way
Every road I had to take
Every time my heart would break
It was just something that I had to get through
To get me to you
To get me to you

Well I, I still can recall the days
When I had no love around me
Makes me glad for every day I have with you
And I, I look in your eyes and know
I'm right where I belong
And I belong with you
Always belonged with you

And I don't regret the rain
Or the nights I felt the pain
Or the tears I had to cry
Some of those times along the way
Every road I had to take
Every time my heart would break
It was just something that I had to go through
To get me to you
To get me to you

And if I could I wouldn't change a thing
Wouldn't change a thing baby
Because your love was waiting there for me
Waiting there for me baby

And I don't regret the rain
Or the nights I felt the pain
Or the tears I had to cry
Some of those times along the way
Every road I had to take
Every time my heart would break
It was just something that I had to get through
To get me to you
To get me to you
