My life...right now...I should be celebrating...LIFE. I'm healthy...my kids/husband healthy...but yet my dad is not. He is dying and has a few mos to live. So, instead of working on my best friend's 40th montage, I'm actually working on my dad's funeral montage. I hate to even admit it, but I started to do it now, because I know when 'that' times comes, I will find myself a mess. I know I will NOT want to deal with a montage....the memories. I will have too many other things to 'deal' with, and somehow still be a mom, make my kid's life as normal as possible, yet have them understand that their pop-pop is in heaven.
SO, I have the photo's uploaded...and I had to find the right song...and today, being off from the snow storm, I sat in my bed while the kids played. So, as I was sifting thru ideas, I ran across Josh Groban...I instantly zeroed in on one particular song...I listened to it, and it was perfect...after I hit 'play', the tears rolled....I literally lost it. The words were just right! TG my husband was home, and somehow knew to come ck on me, and there I was, sobbing while listening to this amazing song...he just hugged me thru the rest of the song!!! But, it's the one...the right one!!!! TO WHERE YOU ARE. Here is a 30 second clip (then you can click on the title name and hear it in full):

That's a beautiful song!!! My heart breaks for you as I can not imagine how hard it must be to pull this together for your dad...The montages are important to you. You put all your heart and soul into them when creating them so I know the one for your dad will be perfect. Please ensure you post it when complete. I would love to have a copy! If that's okay.
Hang in there my friend! Hugs...
Love, Tina
What a beautiful and right sing. I couldn't listen to the whole thing or I would of broke down myself. Though I don't know you that well I see what a strong and caring person you are. There is a true bond between fathers and daughters. May your family stay strong and cherish every single moment like I know you all do . -Steph
I think that is the perfect song for his montage...not sure I will be able to see the pictures thru the tears, but i know you will make it something special that you and your family will cherish forever. My montage can wait, I will be 40 for an entire year. YOu could play mine at the Bottle and Cork this summer...:) Did I make you smile?
