I’ve heard it said
That people come
Into our lives
For a reason
Bringing something
We must learn.
And we are led
To those who help us
Most to grow,
If we let them,
And we help them in return.
Well, I don’t know
If I believe that’s true,
But I know
I’m who I am today,
Because I knew you.
This song reminds me of my mom. She left us a year ago today.
If you haven’t heard the sound track, it’s worth a listen. The video is from you-tube and features Kristen Chenowith. Weekly drawing

Thank you, Paul.
I’ll be thinking of you, the first year is always the hardest, blessings to you
thank you, Kat! I’m feeling a bit emotional today.
What a beautiful song!
You’re lucky to have had a mother that was so supportive and loveable. It isn’t that way for everyone. Sounds like she was lucky to have such a wonderful daughter, too.
Thank you, Karel.
This is really tugging at my heart string because my mother, who is 90, is in the hospital right now and she’s not doing too well. I can’t even imagine life without my mother. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Brenda. Hugs to you and your momma
A truly wonderful poem and beautiful song
Thank you, Cynthia.
Hugs to you Amy!
Thank you, Jeannie.
Amy, This is my first time reading your blog. Thank you for sharing this beautiful song. Even if we believe that the spirit is eternal, not having the people that we love with us in the physical realm is so difficult. The missing is very real and painful. Thinking of you today and sending you love. best, Allison
