I love music, always have and always will. There is something about shedding your pains and picking up your joys and you can do both through music. I heard this song a couple months while I was driving home from work....it usually takes no more than 10 minutes to get home, but this day it took almost 20 minutes.

If you fast forward past the Steve Harvey intro I think you will enjoy it. The artist is very soulful and inspiring. As tears fell from my eyes I thought about what life had been for his family in comparison to my mothers and as horrible as I thought it was Mommy and Daddy went back home. They not only went back home on the river but they were able to take Moms mother.

There is one specific line "i held my breath when they diped my head and I came up shiny and knew"... that touched my more than others the realization that sometimes you not only have to let go and move on but remember what you have. I never thought Mississippi was meant for me, but I don't know how much longer it will be before I either move there to be with my parents or at least closer. Im ready to not only sit by the river but jump in for a dip and starting new.
