Thanks, Ms. K. I love that song. I'm reminded of a sad time in my life when I lost my mother, Katherine. In the months leading up to her passing, I heard this song for the first time on American Idol in 2008. It was Nickelback's
Hero. For some reason, I had begun to grieve for my mom during those months, not knowing she was dying. But I was very emotional and cried when I heard the song (still do). Anyway, she died in my arms that Sunday afternoon after suffering for years. I cared for her during those years, and we were alone in her house. I miss her greatly. She was my best friend. She was my hero.
I think music brings back memories more than anything else. Songs I have heard for the very first time, have reminded me of things that happened a very long time ago. Then there are songs associated with events, that bring the memories back so strong, it feels like it just happened.
Thank you for sharing your story Balboa. I think I may have shed a few tears with you.
