    When I’m terribly lonesome and unmotivated that I can’t stand up to do anything, I always come back here somehow it gives me strength to do my duties and tend to my family.

      in all seriousness, this is one of the most beautiful, heart-wrenching songs I've ever heard. from "then i got the phone call" and then on is like being kicked in the stomach over and over.

    I wish I was still able to walk. So, in here laying in bed, awake at a quarter to 2 in the morning, crying from the grief that makes me want to run laps around the block. I'm running laps in my mind, and the muscles in my legs feel like they walked around the world for each year I been alive.
