    I remember the first time I heard this song. I was sitting at the kitchen table about 2 am. I had the radio playing. I lost my son to an IED in Afghanistan. I was missing him so bad and had my service pistol in my mouth. The song finished I picked up my sons Bible and started reading. This song saved my life.

      I’m glad you put that gun down. I’m glad you’re still here. Gulf War veteran here; I had a rough time when I came home. PTSD and the bottle almost had me picking up a pistol too. My loving father brought me back to myself in his quiet and gentle way. He showed me that the world was still good. I’m so sorry for your loss and will always be grateful for your son. Don’t give up.

My mom told me a few years ago I was actually named after her mother which I never knew she died before I was born... Dorothy Frances. We named our daughter Lux Frances. Good name.
      My best friend overdose on heroin that was laced with fentanyl. They ruled it accidentally overdose. Like your son she was troubled on earth. I believe she did it on purpose. She sent me pictures of her and her children before she died and just hints about it but I didn't know under later. As hard as it is I believe she amd her son are both in a better place and at piece. 🤗

He was beside it and this drunk ran out of the road and killed him. When something like that happens, you are instantly changed forever. I'm grown now with 2 grown sons of my own and as a parent, I can not begin to imagine how my parents survived that.

The over-produced music i n the 80s and 90s worked against her great vocal talent, and I think that was why she was underrated with the buying public. I think the industry people appreciate how good she is. You've probably seen it, but just in case you haven't, check out her with Ralph Stanley.
