This song has changed meaning for me over the years. Yes, it is a love ballad but this song refects my feelings for my mom. My mom and I only had each other while I was growing up. My mom meant, and still means the world to me. Mom is now in an alzheimers facility because we just can't take care of her anymore. When I listen to the lyrics with Whitneys beautiful voice I can't help but cry. I am at my moms side as much as I can be. Her pride has been devistated by this disease. During the years the chips have fallen pretty hard for me and mom but we were always there for each other. Maybe I am the fool for loving my mom so much and I would be the fool forever just to be with her forever. I know our time together is running out. I miss my mom, I hate this disease. Mom is my miracle, I am so blessed to have had such a wonderful mother.
