I have sung "Think of me" over and over as I reminisce about Joseph and hope someone will think to play it at my own funeral one day. <BR/><BR/>I too have a lot of musical communication in my head. Sometimes sound says what the heart cannot, or at least makes it easier to get it out. <BR/><BR/>I hope you are enjoying your time. Walking in the pristine, almost sacred silence of a snowfall sounds so cathartic to me. It snowed for seven days (in Dallas!) when Joseph died and I always "hear" him when the flakes fall. We have had none yet this year and I am not sure if that is good or bad. <BR/><BR/>I am thinking of you.Sherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523200407409657856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-26728221794654890732008-01-20T15:23:00.000-08:002008-01-20T15:23:00.000-08:00I love that Eva Cassidy has a place in your musica...I love that Eva Cassidy has a place in your musical life: after my father died I listened to her version of Fields of Gold over and over and over and over; it is still on most of my favorite mix CDs, and still brings me to tears, though I don't remember ever having liked the original version (sung by a man, I think). <BR/><BR/>Since Katie was diagnosed I have been listening to a lot of John Mayer; I think the "Gravity" of it all is what keeps me in that space...Diane Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379544317007203762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-59663617159030901352008-01-19T22:25:00.000-08:002008-01-19T22:25:00.000-08:00Heidi shared on her blog how when Samara was diagn...Heidi shared on her blog how when Samara was diagnosed with cancer that she mentally picked out what Samara would wear at her funeral and what songs they would have for the service.<BR/><BR/>My grandma was a huge ABBA fan and the one song that reminds me of her so much is "I Believe in Angels" Grandma was a daycare provider for over forty years. Her daycare was "Hitchcock's Daycare for Precious Angels" She had angel everything...not cherubs, but angels.<BR/><BR/>When Grandma died one of the songs sung was "When at Night I go to Sleep." It is the song that always came to mind for Samantha. My favorite arrangement is my Charlotte Church, I think she was twelve when she sang it.<BR/><BR/>Isn't music such a wonderful gift. We can use it to express so much, more than just words alone.pysanki.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16983697204378310519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-77774948949522180182008-01-19T17:36:00.000-08:002008-01-19T17:36:00.000-08:00I found your blog through Katie's Caringbridge sit...I found your blog through Katie's Caringbridge site. I was very taken with Katie when I read her story. I'm so very sorry for your loss. <BR/><BR/>I lost my mom to cancer a year ago and its been devastating. I'm a single parent to a beautiful four year old little girl name Madelyn, she is such a bright light in my life. Not having my mom has certainly left a huge hole.<BR/> <BR/>I wanted to thank you for your honesty and sharing your journey. I'm not sure what my soundtrack is, but life is to precious to just coast through with "fillers".<BR/><BR/>I am praying for your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
