I heard this song from my sister and right away I thought it was a beautiful song but really didn't have any way to relate it to my life at the time, but now I do. My dear friend, whom has technically been adopted as my brother, recently deployed. We used to spend pretty much every second together, he is 3 years younger than me, but he will always be my hero, and my son's role model. Since my sons dad walked out a couple weeks after he was born, my 'brother' stepped in as his Uncle and has helped me with everything, from doctors appointments to haircuts. He was even there when I found out I had cancer and needed surgery. He's a volunteer firefighter and a licensed EMT plus he is serving in the Alabama National Guard MP Company. He will be gone for a while to one of the "hottest" spots overseas, and of course I pray everyday that we will see him again one day. This song just reminds me of the last time I saw him, I swear it played out like that.. Remembering all the times we used to just drive the back roads for no reason, always had fun no matter what we were doing, and he even got my son and I back in Church.. I watched him drive away in his Xterra that day for his base for deployment.. God I miss him. So I pray everyday hoping that I will get to see him alive again, if not, then I will look up and know the stars are holding him until I get there too :)

I think your story is beautiful. It really makes me wonder, how did it play out? Is your brother back from the military? How is your son doing? Are you still involved in the church? My 'brother' and I call this our song too, because he and I have had so many of these memories. I now like 2500 km away from him which is very hard.
