Open Thread Post 107 - Last Song

Until the Celebration of Life and the probably 4 or 5 times since that I've listened to/watched the Last Song, I could NOT, and I mean NEVER, get through it without really breaking down.

Unsure of what to write about again tonight, as I was walking back to the bedroom, hubby was flipping through YT on the TV, and the Last Song played for 5 seconds before he turned it.

Once that song gets in my head, it stays. I have to force myself to think of other songs.

I haven't listened to it myself in over a week I think. Interestingly, I'm in the middle of another book about heaven called The Case for Heaven: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for Life After Death by Lee Strobel.

The one thing that alleviates the pain of missing Morgan is knowing where she is and that someday we will see each other again.

Because on this morning's walk the sun shown on a big pond creating those beautiful sparkles I once wrote about, and my picture of that is included in the Last Song, I decided to go ahead and make it public, too. At the service, the follow-up to this song was also played and I will post that link tomorrow. I don't know why I'm “changing” or “improving” but as I watched it again just now to upload it, I did not break down for the first time. I got teary, but they even stayed in my eyes. I have to give this some thought.
