I think this is a song that can mean different things to different people. My mom died almost 2 years ago. It was pretty quick. She had cancer and it consumed her in a matter of a few weeks. My dad completely lost his mind. He ran to his ex wife who he hasn't seen in 40 years and left me with everything. He blamed me for everything he could. He said things to me that you don't say to your kinds. He got married to his ex wife and bought a house 4 hours away. He left me with the house to empty when he listed it for sale, he left me with 2 dogs. I had to buy a house cause we thought his house was sold. I was 25 years old and I had just graduated college with still my shitty retail job that now I can't quit because I wont find anything that pays enough for me and the house and the 2 dogs.
This song reminds me of all of that. I didn't want my parents to let go but they did. I go to my dads house now and it doesn't feel like home. And I want my mom back so bad. There were times I felt like I was unsteady and I went through all this alone. But I made it out alive. As sad at this song is, it also reminds me that I made it through all of that. It makes me feel strong. It reminds me that things will get better, that when you hit bottom, there is only one way to go.
@kiera76109 sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing such a personal story with us. I am glad that this song is able to relate to you ... hopefully it brings up nice memories of your mother.
