OMG Abbie (I edited because I was so drawn up in the song I didn't read properly and wrote the wrong name)!
that song is unreal - about 5 minutes long - turn your speakers on!!! Its even worth reading what others have said about the video.
I've never heard this before!
Today is my oldests son's 32nd birthday... you have given me a great gift Abbie!
the makes me think of Derek ... the beginning is powerful to me
I think this song is written from the point of view of someone who may not have reconized the person who they lost was troubled.
I recognized that Derek was troubled and I didn't know what to do about it...
and altho he didn't take his own life by death... he took his life away from me...
I recognize that there is an unfathomable difference between losing your loved one to death than losing your loved one to estrangement.
I recognize how absolutely blessed I am that Derek's daughter's arrival is bringing him back to me.
Those who have lost to death will never have this... ever.
I recognize how blessed I am and I can't say how much I respect you and thank you and love you dear Abbie- you have helped me grow sooooooo much!
