Charlie bit my finger!

Charlie is the cutest baby ever!

i love you

this past year my family

was sittin' cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree

listenin' to Grandad we all knew it'd probably be his last

he was crackin' jokes and we were takin' turns

tellin' stories 'bout fishin' or lessons learned

out on the back porch with him, we all felt like kids again

last night I held his hand

and said goodbye

it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do

♥ I love you grandpa

Life ain't always beautiful

Sometimes it's just plain hard

Life can knock you down

It can break your heart.

Life ain't always beautiful

You think you're on your way

And it's just a dead end road

At the end of the day.

But the struggles make you stronger

And the changes make you wise

And happiness has it's own way

Of taking it's sweet time

No, life ain't always beautiful

Tears will fall sometimes

Life ain't always beautiful

But it's a beautiful ride.

Life ain't always beautiful

Some days I miss your smile

I get tired of walking

All these lonely miles.

And wish for just one minute

That I could see your pretty face

Guess, I can dream

But life don't work that way.

But the struggles make me stronger

And the changes make me wise

And happiness has it's own way

Of taking it's sweet time.

No, life ain't always beautiful

But I know I'll be fine

Life ain't always beautiful

But it's a beautiful ride.

What a beautiful ride...
