Songs, Part 1

"Into the West" became one of my "Stella" songs shortly after her passing. On my first postpartum run, I listened to this song while standing in the cemetery watching an amazing sunset with tears streaming down my face. 

Neil is a personal friend with an amazing voice. He is also an Angel Dad. I know his heart is truly in this performance--you can see it at the very end of the video. I also happen to know the pianist and that he has overcome some great challenges in his life.  I cannot listen to this performance without tears streaming down my face. 

There are so many significant phrases in this song. Although I understand that my little girl is not just "sleeping," but the image of being able to hold her in my arms once more is something I dream of and long for--it will happen one day. I look forward to that day, Stella.  Until that day and forever, I love you!
