30 Days of Truth.. Day 13 → A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough a** days. (write a letter.)

This challenge is very difficult for me because I believe Music is Life. Every room in a home deserves a different genre.. just as every mood does. There isn’t much, in the music industry that I don’t appreciate on some level. I could write Colin Raye about “Love Me” getting me through my grandmother’s death and all the major changes in my life, that had to happen, in 1991. I could write to Alabama about how several of there songs built me into who I am today, but I think that would freak my heart out, too much. I could write to Reba McEntire, because my world has evolved through some of her songs.

When one loses a parent, life seems to go into an unrecognizable mode, for a while. Some days you don’t know if you’ll ever feel 1/2 normal again. It has taken me just over a year to be able to function, at full capacity, again. Amazingly, in that year, I’m not sure how I accomplished anything. I did do the best thing I could do, for myself. I went back to the pyschiatrist. It was my chance to just focus on me and work on climbing back into the world I once could run through.
