| This is such a powerful song to me. Firstly, I relate to the addiction side because I am a recovering addict. I know how using/drinking can make a family "a little unsteady". Still living with my parents at age 26 because all my money was spend on drugs! I am 3 years sober now, married and have moved out of state with my husband (I should tell you I am a mama and daddys baby)... ANYWAY... On with my interpretation of this very emotional song. It makes me think of my mom and remember my dad. My dad passed away May last year. I still lived in Louisiana then. He was sick in the hospital, that was actually the first place my husband met my dad. (Not married then: he got to ask for my hand in marriage before he passed) "Dad, I know you're trying to fight when you feel like flying. But if you love me, don't let go" I wanted my daddy to stay longer! So many things left to say and do; he needed to walk me down the isle! On that day my mom called, as soon as I answered I knew that was it. "Hold on to me, cause Im a little unsteady". I felt like I couldnt go on without my dad! How do you deal with losing someone who is such an import part of your life? And my mom, what will she do now?.. I cant imagine her pain and heartache. Not to mention just 6 months later her live in daughter moves across the United States soon after the wedding. "Mother, I know that your tired of being alone", "Mama, come here, approach, appear". My mom is a very strong woman but I know that since the house is empty now that dad is gone and I have moved away she gets lonely and sad at times. I wished she could be closer to me or me to her. "Im alone cause this house dont feel like home". Makes me miss home and I think of my mom saying that to my dad in heaven. No one is there with her so it doesnt feel like it used to. "Hold on to me cause Im a little unsteady". If it werent for this awesome man in my life I call my husband I dont know how I would have made it threw the loss of my dad. He has held me steady and been at my side threw it all. (Added bonus- him and my dad are both named Albert, strange I know. Even more strange, my mom says that she thinks my dad has partially-reincarnated himself into my husband. They favor that much! They always say a girl marrys a man just like a father.) Many tears fall EVERYTIME I listen to this song cause so many emotions come up. I love listening to it though because it brings back memories. If you made it to the end of this post thank you for reading it all. Its alot but its just one little story of my life I wanted to share. | |

@[jparis:14261] Wow! I never thought of it this way!.. but thank you for sharing that. I myself am a recovering addict. Been sober 3 years now, but my brother on the other hand hasnt found his way yet. Off and on now for 20+ years he has been in and out of jail and destroying himself. I totally agree when you say its a family disease. Addiction effects the person afflicted by it and everyone around him/her. Family for sure especially their parents (most of the time mom) This is such a great song and so many meanings. I am going to post what I think it means to me, but I wanted to Thank you for this and also relate with you so you know that you are not alone. My mom bas been and still is in your situation. God Bless Moms like you♡ |
