Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for performing this cover for me! I’m in tears. This song means so much to me. I was diagnosed in 2002 with Lupus and in 2008 a brain tumor that can’t be taken out and a whole bunch of autoimmune disorders and seizures. My kids were young then so they don’t remember a lot of the stuff we did for fun and that makes me sad. My husband and I are now proud parents of amazing, compassionate, young adults who are all in college and doing well. The three of them have learned to help during and after seizures. Set up and give IV medication the proper way and they are still trying to help me realize when I’m trying to do to much. Now this song has grown with me from tears streaming down my face because I couldn’t replace those memories, then because I can’t regain my prior health, and now I have this amazing song that that made so so happy I cried. I got a notification that you had just put up this song while I was doing middle of the night infusions and I’m glad I got to watch it right away. Thank you and God bless.

I had our pastor once tell me don’t question why but to ask how I could help people in similar situations. A year or so later I had a woman told me that she was glad I didn’t lose my faith. She thought I was an example to others that He had not forsaken me, but was working through me to give others hope. I’m not a shining example but I’m a work in progress.

There is probably no greatest felling than pick a guitar or other instrument and play something that you are really feeling, thats a lot of perfect covers but the most important thing for the person who plays it at least is not to sing it well or to play it well, but to feel everything to explore the song, to try to laugh, to feel! Dont play it just for fun choose something that you can feel and if you dont know how to do it you have to grow up and life we ll let some scars on you and then you ll see, love you all from Porto, Portugal :)
