I found this video on youtube and started to smile to overflowing. I have had 2 occassions recently when I was in less than a terrific circumstance and this song (not the Chipmonks version)came on a nearby radio.
Over the last several years since the song was released I have written on my blog that hearing the song has made me smile and brought me great happiness. The reason is simple. At one time or another I have heard my grandchildren Hope, Noah and Jake sing the song. Even Jonah is in my thoughts when I hear it. The week before he was born I was in West Virginia and heard his brother Jake sing it.
The smiles I get and the happy feeling have very little to do with the song. It is the magical way that whenever I hear it I feel close to them.
As I start a crazy week, I am smiling listening to these chipmonks sing and knowing how very blessed I am to be Grandma to Noah, Hope, Jake and Jonah.
