Wednesdays with West: The Real Sara Heavens

This one is for Sara Heavens.

Do you know what? I saw the real Sara Heavens at church! She's a girl and she has a pretty dress and she has hair that is very pretty. She dances and sings. I love her because she sings my special song that makes me feel good at school. I saw her in front of our place at church.

[Dad's Note: Weston actually saw our neighbor, Nicky, who does look a heck of a lot like Sara "Heavens." Weston's special song is "Never Alone," which is almost as dear to him as "You Are My Sunshine." Weston suffers from periodic night terrors, a parasomnia sleep disorder characterized by extreme terror and a temporary inability to regain full consciousness. After 4 years of these terrors, the only thing we've found that can pull him out of them is Sara's "Never Alone." So we'll just go ahead and let West think Sara Heavens goes to his church. Nicky better just learn how to sing!]

Weston Fills In: I Love Sara Heavens

I am writing Bridger's blog tonight because he is trying to read sight words and he doesn't want to sound them out. He thinks those sight words are hard.

I was going to talk about Sara Heavens. I love Sara Heavens. She sings songs in our car. The song that she sings is my song. I love that song. It's special to me.

There is another Sara Heavens that isn't Sara Heavens and me and mumma was driving and she was singing my song and it wasn't Sara Heavens. I don't like it if the real Sara Heavens doesn't sing it.

[Dad's Note: Weston is talking about country singer Sara Evans. She is to Weston what Alison Krauss is to Bridger. His special song is "Never Alone" from the Jim Brickman album, Escape. He knows every word. Mumma calls this her song for her boys. Sara Evans is featured on the album track, which we've listened to in the car for some time. But for some reason the radio version of this song features Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum instead of Evans. I agree with West. Sara is hands-down the better vocalist.]
