Last night was Corey's Eagle Scout Court of Honor. It was such a great night! Everything went so well, and there were so many people there to support him. It was practically a perfect night with one tiny exception. I finished his slideshow literally right before the program started. And the time came for me to show the slideshow. Everything was going great until a little over halfway through and it stopped. I was so bummed! Corey and I looked at each other, he hadn't seen it yet, and we both almost started crying. I think what happened is there was an error when it burned, so it didn't completely burn the entire slideshow correctly to the DVD. Anyway, we can watch it later, but I felt badly for everyone else who didn't get to see the end. Oh well! The show must go on! But it was an amazing evening! I was already Corey's biggest fan, but after last night I was even more proud of him and everything he has done and overcome.
The song I picked for the beginning of Corey's slideshow was "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas. If you haven't heard this song you need to because it is simply an amazing song! Anyway, this song epitomizes how I feel about Corey. Here are the lyrics:
Let it go,
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know
The hardest part is over
Let it in,
Let your clarity define you
In the end
We will only just remember how it feels
Let it slide,
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine
Until you feel it all around you
And i don't mind
If it's me you need to turn to
We'll get by,
It's the heart that really matters in the end
Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain
He truly is a "little wonder!." I love him so much! Congratulations Corey!
