On November 2, 2007 Sneff broke my heart while I was in Misawa, Japan. This was the ONLY thing which kept me from ending myself. I understood, God had me in a better place. On Jan 1 2008 I celebrated New Years with my brother and my Sister-In-Law, in Dallas-Fort Worth. It was fantastic. We didn’t really party hard, but I remember it was very relaxing. I remember, about the same time that Stephanie broke my heart, I found this song and yet, when I play it, it makes me think of the time spent with my brother and Sister-in-Law at New Years!!! It’s a Christmas song:
I was actually looking up other Christmas songs, in my despair, and happened across this one. It stuck out to me. I love when Sarah sings, and when they say “West leading, still proceeding”, so comforting. Also, in relation to Japan, that was the year I actually DID go West, to Manama, Bahrain. So, it was funny, to me how this song has been in my playlist every year, since 2007. I proceeded even though- to be honest, I didn’t want too. I wanted to curl up in the fetal position and go to sleep, at the time. This song helped me to appreciate not only Sarah Mclachlan, but the Barenaked Ladies as well.
I was already listening to Christmas music. My Christmas station, Star 102.1 was already playing Christmas music, this past week. So, I began looking up some of my favorites on YouTube as well, and as usual this one came up. I love listening to all the songs, but of course as with anything, I have my favorites. Some other favorites are Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives just to name a couple.
