book- music

(Place on page 272 after para 7 - Christmas)

As always, music helped to heal my soul. Music always eased my pain, both physically and when my heart ached. Music soothed the hurt in my heart whenever I thought of Mom.

I loved the Richard Marx- Alison Krauss song, "Straight From My Heart", as much as it made me cry. But maybe that was a good thing. The song helped me cope.And after refusing to cry when she died, it was time get in touch with my feelings so I could move on. 

"I will always be...better for you loving me... better for the times we shared..that travel with me everywhere. And I will always try..to hold my head up to the sky..if only just to let you  know..that Straight From My Heart, I still miss you so."

Beautiful lyrics which meant so much, no matter how many times I closed my eyes and allowed the song to seep into my soul.
