We're Going To Love Her Through It

It's 5 a.m. and my sister and I are about to head to the hospital for my mom's surgery, which will be at 9 a.m. I wanted to post the lyrics to Martina McBride's new song "I'm Going to Love You Through It." Last night mom and I were watching Dancing with the Stars and Martina sang this song live. Um...tear jerker!

This song describes my mom and dad to a T. The love they have for one another. They are best friends and I think it's going to be there song through this cancer journey. Cancer, no cancer, hair, no hair, boobs, no boobs - he's going to love her through it!



She dropped the phone and burst into tears
The doctor just confirmed her fears
Her husband held it in and held her tight
Cancer don’t discriminate or care if you’re just 38
With three kids who need you in their lives
He said, "I know that you’re afraid and I am, too
But you’ll never be alone, I promise you"

When you’re weak, I’ll be strong
When you let go, I’ll hold on
When you need to cry, I swear that I’ll be there to dry your eyes

When you feel lost and scared to death,
Like you can’t take one more step
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I’m gonna love you through it.

She made it through the surgery fine
They said they caught it just in time
But they had to take more than they planned
Now it's forced smiles and baggy shirts
To hide what the cancer took from her
But she just wants to feel like a woman again
She said, "I don't think I can do this anymore"
He took her in his arms and said "That's what my love is for"

When you’re weak, I’ll be strong
When you let go, I’ll hold on
When you need to cry, I swear that I’ll be there to dry your eyes

When you feel lost and scared to death,
Like you can’t take one more step
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I’m gonna love you through it.

And when this road gets too long
I'll be the rock you lean on
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I’m gonna love you through it.
I’m gonna love you through it.
(Martina McBride)
