It was really hard for me to come up with a song that made me truly sad. I tend to hold on to songs that are wonderful, beautiful, or full of fun memories. I don’t really have break-up songs or anything like that to get a tad maudlin over.
That being said, this song was the hymn that I remember singing with my family when at my Granny’s funeral. It was her favorite song. This is my only really clear memory that I have of her passing. I was in the 3rd grade.
I actually love this song. It is so hopeful to me. I have been known to sing it around my house on a happy day, but I was an adult before I could hear (or sing) this song without tearing up a bit. Every time I hear it, I will be thinking of Granny.
Till next time,
It has been a long time since I have heard this song. Beautiful! I will be singing it all day now!
