"What is this thing that builds out dreams, yet slips away from us"
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
Just knowing he wrote this for his young son who died tragically gets me every time, as a father of 4 and soon to be a grandfather my only fear in life is anything happening to them and outliving them.

It doesn't do it every time, but after being a pall bearer for the fourth time in three years, I was listening to Social Distortion and a song called"When The Angels Sing" came on.
I knew it would happen almost immediately after hearing the line, "The funerals are nicer when we know you're there."
I also saw a video years ago by an artist called Chocolate Genius. The song was called "My Mom" and it was about his mother having Alzheimer's and not knowing his name. Damn tearjerker.

Chicago's One Little Candle.
Its such a random song, but.. I remember that after Sandy Hook, my sons 2nd grade class had a holiday concert a couple of days later. The kids stood up at the end of the concert, and said that they had one more song that they added to the program. And that they were dedicating it to the kids at Sandy Hook. Then all of them sat down on the stage steps holding hands with a couple kids in front holding little candles and they sang these lyrics:
"It is better to light just one little candle Than to stumble in the dark. Better far that you light just one little candle, All you need is a tiny spark. If we'd all say a prayer that the world would be free, A wonderful dawn of a new day we'd see... And if everyone lit just one little candle, What a bright world this would be."
At the end of the song, during the last line, which they repeated a second time.... they raised their hands together slowly and the other kids raised the candles slowly. I swear, there was not a single person in the audience that wasn't sobbing. Their little innocent voices.. It was a very hard time. We parents were sitting there with our elementary school children enjoying a holiday concert while the Sandy Hook parents were planning funerals for theirs. It was a humbling moment.
Every year, I listen to that song, crying like a baby and remind myself how lucky I am and how much life is a gift no matter how hard it gets.
