"Tucker's Song" - click to listen to it (it takes a bit to upload)

Back in March of this year, I met with about 8-9 mom's whose children have a Mitochondrial Disease.  I found this group very supportive, very understanding and very knowledgeable.  One of the things I learned that there is a website that write   songs for terminally ill children.  Well, I looked through the site, sent in my request along with all of the needed information and "Voila", approximately 6 weeks later, we received Tucker's CD in the mail.  For a donation, you can download Tucker's song or Tucker's ring tone at: www.songsoflove.org  Click on the Family & Friends Song & Ring tone download link.  Type in the last name:  PATTERSON in the "Child's Last Name" field and the number 18537 in the "Child's Record Number' field.  I hope you    enjoy the song as much as we do.  The girls are always asking us to play Tucker's CD and they knew the words within 3-4 times of hearing it.  It's pretty catchy.

Hugs

Hugs are so nice, they're a wonderful gift,

That give both the 'hugger' and 'huggee' and a lift.

Hugs warm a smile, cure a pout

You can give them all day and still never run out.

They're free and they're fun

And, oh so easy to give.

If you know how to hug

Then you know how to live!!
