I agree...............
I just heard that song on the radio yesterday while my husband and I were driving. Yes, I agree..........it is a great song. The song made me kind of sad though.

I heard it on the radio one day going to work. Then a day later my daughter heard it too. She said the only time she ever hears it on the radio is when she's trying to drive and it makes her cry.

Sherry, Thanks so much for sharing that song. I really like it but I must admit it had the tears running down my face. It was written for my Mother. She has been through so much and never complained and just keeps going. She has been through so much in her life and then DX with stage IV lung cancer last year. I am going to play this song for my Mother. Hope I can hold back the tears when I do it.
