(A Letter Song for Drew and the Kids)
My dearest Drew…
and my beautiful babies…
There’s something I need to say before the night grows too quiet.
I’ve been fighting this cancer with every breath I have left,
and even when my body shakes and my strength fades,
my heart still beats for you —
for us.
---
[Verse 1]
Drew, I know you’re locked away,
but you’ve never once been far from me.
You’re the voice in my heart when the pain takes hold,
the reason I keep pushing through these storms.
Every pill, every needle, every silent scream —
I face them with your name in my prayers.
They say time heals,
but I can feel mine slipping through my hands like water.
Still, I hold on,
because somewhere in this world you’re still calling me “baby,”
and that keeps me alive.
---
[Chorus]
If you ever hear the wind whisper your name,
that’s me, Drew…
I’m still right there beside you.
When the kids ask, “Where’s Mama?”
Tell them I’m not gone —
I just went home early.
Tell them I fought as hard as I could,
and that I loved them with everything I am.
Whisper it’s my time…
and know that my love never dies.
---
[Verse 2]
To my babies —
you are my light in every dark hour.
Every laugh, every hug,
every “I love you, Mommy,” kept me breathing when I didn’t think I could.
You gave me a reason to smile through pain,
to find strength in tears,
to love even when life felt unfair.
And Drew…
you have all of me —
my heart, my mind, my body, and my soul.
Even through the bars and the distance,
you’ve been my peace in chaos,
my calm in the storm,
my forever.
---
[Bridge]
If tomorrow I can’t wake to say goodbye,
don’t let the sadness take you.
Close your eyes,
and I’ll be there —
in your heartbeat,
in their laughter,
in the sunrise that still shines over you all.
I don’t mean to leave;
I just ran out of time.
But please know —
I’ll always be watching over you.
---
[Final Chorus]
So whisper it’s my time, my love.
Tell the kids that Mommy’s okay.
Tell them I’m free,
that I’m not in pain anymore.
Hold them close,
and when the night gets quiet —
feel me there,
wrapped around you like the softest prayer.
Drew…
you and our babies were my everything.
You’ll always be my forever.
And though my body rests,
my soul stays with you.
---
[Outro – softly spoken]
Whisper it’s my time, Drew…
and tell our babies I love them forever.
Mommy’s not gone —
I’m just home now.
And I’ll be waiting…
right where the love never ends.
