love this song...

Amos Story~ music and video by Aaron Ivey 

ok, so there are a bunch of amazing adoption related songs out there....thank me now for choosing to link the "less sappy" of the two i was considering.  (in a few months, in a state of desperation i'll probably link to the other.  consider yourself warned).  Aaron Ivey is an adoptive dad with two children from Haiti.  he is also a gifted song writer/musician.  he has a huge heart for Haiti.  speaking of Haiti, they completely need prayer right now.  with hurricane Tomas and the cholera outbreak, i wonder how much a country can endure...anyway, Aaron wrote this song while he waited for his son Amos to have his adoption finalized, and he is in fact home now so that is great.  i can relate to the lyrics (and the small secret desire i have to splatter paint on a piano as well, might be therapeutic...) and i know some of you will as well.  if i had any remote clue blogging skills at all i'd be able to get the little video box to show up right on this actual page, but all i know how to do is provide the link.  cut me some slack, would ya?!  anyway, i hope you enjoy the video.  i love this guy's musical style and sound.  I should add that some of the video footage is his own.  his wife, his Haitian daughter Story and his son Amos.  they travelled to Haiti to spend time with their children at least once before going back to bring them each home separately. 

this is dedicated to my A.J....
