That old Smokey Robinson song, "Tears of a Clown" just popped in my head as I was thinking of what to title today's post. I had to change the last word though because although I can act very "clownish", today's tears came about as a result of watching Carrie Underwood (of whom I am a HUGE fan) in her just released new video for her single Mama's Song.
In the video, Carrie is singing to her actual Mom about her wedding day in which she hands her Mom a homemade scrapbook as she leaves for her honeymoon with her new husband, Canadian hockey player, Mike Fisher (who is also in the video with Carrie).
I've always been a fan of Carrie's, ever since she first showed up on the American Idol stage years ago, but her relationship with Mike has really upped the anti so to speak in my
obsessive need to follow their lives fan interest. My friend and I are always quick to share any new tidbits of information we glean about our favorite couple, such as pictures of them shopping in a quaint little Eastern Ontario town near where they visit family, or details about their wedding from my "inside source" (aka my niece whose in-laws were at the wedding!). This song of Carrie's really touched my heart when I first heard it on her "Play On" CD. Carrie co-wrote the song and I immediately knew it was about Mike, before their engagement was announced. To see the video just about bursts my heart with joy for this young couple as they start their lives as a godly, young family. I wish them nothing but God's blessings, joy and marital bliss!
Here's the video for you to watch... but you may need a tissue... like I did! Enjoy!
