One of their better songs after Nash left them. I can’t listen to it these days. It reminds me too much of my sons, and losing my oldest one to drugs. His younger brother misses him greatly.
I am so sorry to hear that Phil. I lost my only child to suicide 8 years ago. He was a Chief Petty Officer for our US Navy. I still cannot type this response without crying. My condolences to you.
I am so sorry. Out living our children is un-natural in every way. My wifes only son also died in 2008, so our lives together, to date have been an attempt to get through grief. Like you, I can’t write about my son, yet. Maybe some day, after my grandchildren give me permission, I will.
