Terrific song. Touching in itself and magnified in poignancy by the backstory about your dad's illness. My sub stack Onward through the Fog has my song Brother which you might find comforting.
"Why do we grieve? People have known for all of history that death is sad. Therefore death is sad. It begs the question: why are we sad? Is death, perhaps, a lie?"
I'm currently reading Dan Simmons' Hyperion for the first time, and your quote above had me thinking about the Priest's Tale. I'm not sure if you've read the book or not, but I'd highly recommend giving the first chapter a read...
I remember when this song first dropped and we listened to it with the trepidation and dread only a Real Country Song can evoke, breath held and waiting for the hammerfalls to strike the heart. This song should be on the radio! What a song dude. Thank you for sharing the story.
