I love this song. It came out not too long after I lost my maternal grandmother when I was 18. She was the only one in my family who loved me after my grandfather passed away and after she died, I literally had NO ONE. She was a wise old bird....just like I now am. So, yeah....this song really hits home for me as I had the same relationship with my grandmother as Diane Reeves had with hers.
