Lyrics for Album: Little Bit of Life

Tough
Monte Criswell/Joe Leathers

She’s in the kitchen at the crack of dawn
Bacon’s on, coffee’s strong
Kids running wild, taking off their clothes
If she’s a nervous wreck, well it never shows
Takes one to football and one to dance
Hits the Y for aerobics class
Drops by the bank, stops at the store
Has on a smile when I walk through the door
The last to go to bed, she’ll be the first one up
And I thought I was tough

Chorus

She’s strong, pushes on, can’t slow her down
She can take anything life dishes out
There was a time
Back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough
We sat there five years ago
The doctors let us know, the test showed
She’d have to fight to live, I broke down and cried
She held me and said it’s gonna be alright
She wore that wig to church
Pink ribbon pinned there on her shirt
No room for fear, full of faith
Hands held high singing Amazing Grace
Never once complained, refusing to give up
And I thought I was tough

Chorus

She’s strong, pushes on, can’t slow her down
She can take anything life dishes out
There was a time
Back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough
She’s a gentle word, the sweetest kiss
A velvet touch against my skin
I’ve seen her cry, I’ve seen her break
But in my eyes, she’ll always be strong
There was a time
Back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough

It does sound like Rin….

Well Wishes from Dave and Bev McQuade

Dear Dave & Irene,  We continue to check this site several times daily and are praying when the Lord puts you on our hearts, which is very often.  I have a feeling you have already read a story about a man named John Rizzo who was treated at the Mayo clinic in 1996.  He had the same amyloid disease that Irene has.  He was treated and as of the internet story had survived and thrived 9 years and was still going strong and had resumed his job and all normal activities.  The story says that he was in the hospital for 2 months after the transplant and it took him almost a year at home to gain all of his strength back, but that he was having check-ups every 6 months and was doing great.  I read that a few weeks ago and have been praying for Irene to do that well and even better in her recovery.  Your update today, Dave, was an encouragement to us

Well Wishes From Michael Lindsay

Dear Dave:

I am terribly sorry to hear of your news.  I will most certainly pray for you and for Irene.  The treatment routine sounds quite involved.  Is there something I can do to help or encourage you?

I will pray for healing for Irene.  In the meantime, I pray the Lord sustains and encourages you.  You are a blessing to so many, Dave, not the least of whom must surely be Irene.

Michael
