I would like to make a song dedication and encourage others to make a dedication as well.
My song to dedicate is "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles. I would like to dedicate this song to all the grieving mothers and fathers. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. I cannot begin to understand or comprehend your loss. I just wish I could take one ounce of your pain away.
When I was sixteen, my mother and I were sitting at the dining room table. We had the radio on which was unusual. When this song came on, my mother just sat down with me at the table which was even more unusual. Like most mothers, mine was a perpetual motion machine so it was rare to have her sit. She knew I liked the Beatles so she and I sat and were listening to this song Here Comes the Sun.
Then the phone rang. Even though the phone ringing in our large household was normal, my mother turned and looked at me frightened. We shared a stare and she slowly got up. When she first picked up the phone, she looked at me in disbelief. On the other end was a Highway Patrol Officer who told my mother that her oldest son had been killed in an accident. My mother sat down shocked and started crying. We hugged and listened to the rest of the song say, "Here comes the son, It's all right..."
I got to spend a lot of time with my mother before she died as I left my job to be her personal caregiver. We talked about this fateful day many times, how this song was playing and how we were listening to it at that time. She told me it that the experience of listening to this song at that time helped show her that in spite of all the pain in this life that there is a good and gentle spirit watching over and comforting each of us.
She told me that the loss of her son was the one wound which never healed, but that she had drawn strength from this song many times.
To all the mothers and fathers out there, I pray that each of you might find some comfort in this song. May God bring every blessing in your life and the strength to continue to love all those around you.
Thankful one
The Beatles- Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to their faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
It's all right
It's all right
