[Kh1967]

After recently losing my mom, my world has been turned upside down. It has not been long and the days can often be nothing short of a total grind. Since she lived with me and my wife for the last six years, mom is everywhere - which is a blessing, but also difficult. So, many, many reminders.

That said, my mom gave me my love of music. We would sit together, sing, dance, and more times than not, we would put a song on repeat and listen, over and over and over. We always heard something new and our love deepened for whatever song was capturing our attention.

Today, I am getting through with the help of Tyler Childers. "Follow You to Virgie" is on repeat, playing loudly, and I am singing and crying, and imagining my mom singing right along, next to me, as she always did.
