Alive, Alive Oh!

Tonight we sat in our living room with some of our very best friends and sang this song.

Cockles and Muscles

1. In Dublin's fair city,
Where girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she pushed her wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!
Chorus:
Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh!
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

2. Now she was a fishmonger,
And sure twas no wonder,
For so were her mother and father before,
And they each wheeled their barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!
Chorus:

3. She died of a fever,
And no one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!
Chorus:

We sang it to celebrate. Celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Celebrate Rob's Birthday. Celebrate being together. And most importantly Scott not only being "alive, alive, oh" but sitting in his own home on his couch, surrounded by his family.

I have some fantastic pictures to share (did you doubt it?) but they are going to have to wait I'm much to tired from all the fun to process them tonight.

As Scott told me tonight after I turned out his lights, "moments like tonight mean so much to me, I wasn't sure I was going to get anymore of them."
I can understand what he's saying.


Scott and his boys feeling "Alive, alive, OH"
Thanks for coming over everyone, we've needed you more than you'll ever know.
