I Love You Like
This song was written about Gabe's great grandparents who have been hugely influential in our lives. Their generosity and never-failing involvement has been obvious every single day of our married lives. They love like it keeps them alive. Actually, I think it really does. And the best part of it is how their actions have influenced our children to be loving and generous as well. Love, like a good seed, just keeps on fruiting and spreading to new ground. God bless Granny and Granddad!

But some who’ve gone before us live forever

In the way they loved me with the time they gave

And I’m richer, and they’re richer — we’re both richer in the bargain

I have forgotten my fear of every ending
