Soulmates

Posted about 5 years ago
Some songs, for better or worse, will always have a story attached to them for people like us. That is why we are here...what is just music to other people is a reason to exist for us. This song came on via the shuffle mode today and it reminded of my grandparents. My grandma passed away when she was 78 after an amazing, full life and after 59 years of marriage to my grandfather. Four weeks after that my grandpa passed. It was like he literally didn't know how to live without her. Memories like that and songs like this are why I never give up on humanity, no matter how bleak things get.

  1. Viva La Britt says This does not compute. Blair has such a beautiful and positive example to follow, yet this is the guy who holds onto his bachelorhood with the jaws of life.
