Musical poetry has always had a way of asserting and inserting itself in my life at the most appropriate moments, and this beautiful piece is no exception.
No, obviously this song is not about losing your dog, it's about making the best of the short time we all have and trying to learn from our regrets. But as I left the veterinarians office this morning with my friend and companion of 10 years and a cancer diagnosis, the random (is it?) shuffle of my music library cued this song up and moved me to tears.
