Aerosmith’s ‘I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing’ is one of maybe 6 lyrics that sticks with me and always will. This song says exactly what I felt and still remember at the time I heard it. I had just met my husband and we were having the time of our lives being together. So much fun and lots of it. I remember thinking at the time I heard the song that it was exactly what I felt. I could have stayed in that time forever and definitely did not want to close my eyes and sleep because I didn’t want to miss a thing. Perfect timing for this song in my life.
Even now when I hear it I travel back in time to that period of my life and just remember. Remember him, the fun, the love shared and wish I could do it all over again. With him gone after almost 30 years together this song is a sweet remembrance of our time together. Yes, I cry because I miss him so much, but this song will always be our song and bring back those irreplaceable times when it was just him & I.
I thank God for those times and memories and hope if ever I should have Alzheimer’s that those special memories are kept safe within my heart.
