Only need to listen to this song to be transported back to the final years of my father’s life.. funny how music evokes the past as if it were still fully alive inside of you… I think of all the pain and loneliness that was to follow, all of the lost wandering years and feel glad I finally made it home 10 years ago, not in time to save my marriage but then sometimes so much goes into the fire when so much lays unrequited inside of us.
I can listen to this song now and not cry as much, even feel a kind of peace with all that happened.. I have faced so much of it so that now lately, most of what I feel is gratitude for having come through, even as that sense of gratitude is tinged with so much bittersweet nostalgia and longing.
