Just Breathe

Not to get all mushy gushy on you, but I never really thought anything of this song until my husband said it made him cry. I am talking about Just Breathe by Pearl Jam. Now every single time this song comes on the radio I look back at Nathan and all his innocence sitting in his car seat and I get all worked up.

As far as I know this is a love song but everything about it from the title to the lyrics gets me thinking about Nathan and how precious his life is. Just Breathe. Yes, right now he is breathing well, his lungs are working for him, but I know it will not always be easy for him to breathe. We spend hours each day maintaining his lungs.

And I hear him upstairs not napping, playing in his crib and I hope that a cure will be found for CF in his lifetime. I don’t want to say goodbye to that lil guy anytime soon. I don’t think I will listen to the radio in the car anymore. Don’t worry I am fine now, got that off my chest and am going to cherish every second I have with my energetic boy.
