This Song

dav1965

Reminds me of my great granma. She's in the hospital and fading quickly. The other day she was talking to me and was calling me by some other name. My granma informed me (later) that she was referring to my great uncle who I have never met. I hate visiting her because she was always energetic and happy, and I don't want to remember her in a hospital bed sick and barely there.

If the link don't work, it's "Raymond" by Brett eldedridge (not quite sure about the spelling on the last name). I'm not asking for any sympathy or prayers, but if your gonna pray, please include my granma. It's her mom and she's taking it badly.

I heard this song yesterday and it hits really hard.

I left my first wife because of drugs and this song reminds me of that addiction.

Prayers for anyone going through this.

Have you ever listened to John Prine's "Sam Stone"?
Give it a listen.
The chorus goes...

There's a hole in daddy's arm
Where all the money goes
And Jesus Christ died for nothin I suppose
Little pitchers have big ears
Don't stop to count the years
Sweet songs never last too long
On broken radios

The girl I almost married before I met my wife of 38 years, is that song. God help her.

Yep, the sad part is they only start using thinking they'll only do it once in a while, before long, they're addicts[xx(]

Fits my ex-wife, and our 17 year marriage, to a T.

RIP. She committed suicide two years ago. Our son is still having a hard time of it.
