Rest in Peace, Jane Miles

Coldplay always knows how to say things much clearer and more beautiful than I ever seem to be able to. As small and insignificant a gesture it may be, I want to dedicate this post to the beautiful Jane Miles who passed away earlier today. She has inspired me with her ability to remain positive and always selfless in the face of circumstances that the average person would be destroyed by. She was no average woman though. Her beauty lives on in her loving compassionate children and the countless lives she touched just by simply being herself. If I ever decide to grow up and get my life together, I hope to be half the woman she was- the amazing mother, wife, preschool teacher, boyfriend's mother (as she was for me), and friend (as she was for me)


I love you and will continue to learn from your life, just as so many others will.

"Yellow" by Coldplay
dedicated to Jane Miles


Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh all the things I've done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh all the things you do
Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know for you i bleed myself dry

For you i bleed myself dry
Its true look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine
look at the stars look how they shine for you
