Will I Live With Him

Day 5--A Song That Reminds You Of Someone

This time of year, for the past two years, has been difficult.  After a very short battle with cancer, my friend died at the beginning of July 2009.

My friends and I, for the most part, have done a pretty good job moving on with our lives, but every once and a while, something out there reminds us of just how much we miss our friend, and we usually end up in a mess of tears.

Letia's mom asked me to put together a video for the  that we memorial held a few weeks later. I went to her house and gathered up old family pictures to begin my sad task. A few song choices floated around my head, but nothing really felt right. Letia and I had not shared the same taste in music, at all. So in an inspired move, I asked her mom if I could borrow her ipod to see if I could find a background song.

I searched her most played songs, and like some answer from heaven itself, one of the top ten songs was the most fitting song.

When All Is Said And Done--Katherine Nelson



Thankfully I don't run into this song very often, and I try not to watch the video. But it ended up being the perfect choice and fit not only the occasion, but also Leita as a person.


I dedicated Heart of Life--John Mayer to Letia on my 2009 yearly cd.
