Thank You (live)

'Thank You' is a song I wrote for my wife and every woman who faces the risk of genetic breast cancer. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this track through 2009 will go to FacingOurRisk.org, the only national nonprofit organization helping families affected by hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.

Thank You - Jeff MacDougall

I want to thank you
for not letting go of this
for not getting yourself missed
I want to thank you
for not leaving us alone
and emptying our home
of love

'cause that's who you are
a wife and a mom
you get the bronze star
so grab the Nikon
and give us a smile
a smile that says...

I want to thank you
for saving yourself first
I've seen you at your worst

I want to thank you
for getting black and blue
for all the things you do

so make no mistake
when life dropped a bomb
in spite of the risks
you fought like your mom
and now I can smile a smile that says...

Thank you for self sacrifice
for victory at any price
for boys and creepy crawly things
for gifts found waiting over seas
mostly I just want to say
that I can see your face today
and that means more to me
than you can know.

'cause that's who you are
a wife and a mom
you get the bronze star
so grab the Nikon
and give us a smile
a smile that says...

Good work Jeff, and good luck with the issues your family is probably still dealing with.

You should definately make more videos.

[JeffMacDougall]

Thanks Travis... I will be making more videos (not so serious ones too). I'm thinking about doing one a week... we'll see.

Wishing your, your wife and family all the best.
