> My husband Jesse/Gurjulup passed away this past Wednesday as most of you on here know. He listened to this song over and over again a few weeks before his death and cried as he thought about the relationship with his mother and this song depicted it pretty accurately. I will be playing it at his memorial service.

I am so very sorry for this catastrophic event in your life. I feel, tho, that you will carry on.

Eagles’ _Best of My Love_

Schmaltzy as a Hallmark card, but kills me every time. :o

36 years later and still carrying a torch.

Going to go hit my thumb with a hammer now.
