To say that the past year has been rough would be an understatement. It has been an unusual time for my family, full of more valleys than peaks. And there have been times when I have broken down under the stress. But we don't talk about things very much. We just carry on. We have our silent meltdowns when no one is around, and then we put on our "everything is normal" face. I'm not sure why we do that. I guess it's a fear that if we let it all out, the world will come crashing down, and that somehow we are holding it together simply by denying the force of its weight.
Sometimes all it takes is a song to remind me that I'm human, and I don't have to just "carry on." The power of a well-written song is that it can touch your heart with the truth... whether poignant or painful. This song did that for me today. I was trying to type the words so that I could learn it, but had to stop several times just so I could weep.
