This song, for me, takes on a different meaning. My mother took me from my father when I was 8 months old, and I spent the better part of my life looking for him. Mother's family was forbidden to speak to me about him as well as pass on any information as to my whereabouts. In October 2009, I was contacted by the state of Florida, telling me that my father had passed away, and I was his only living relative.
I've learned a lot about the man I searched for since then. A lot about what we had in common and some differences. I know I would have loved being his daughter, and he would have been proud of me, the woman I have become and the family I have built over the years.
One of the things we shared was our love of music, while not exactly styles. I do love Willie Nelson, who happens to have been his very favorite artist of all time. This song reminds me of. Well. Our relationship, or lack thereof. *Shrug*.
