And I feel that I understand the reasons for composing this beautiful song. A truly elegant masterpiece in more ways than one.

Hi Trev,

As always, it's great to see you smile

You are 100% right. I initially wrote this song in my mind as I travelled to and from work seven years after the death of my son. That was 2021. I haven't been able to sing it, though. Every time I tried, my emotions ended up getting the better of me. I have found that it's not true what people say: time doesn't heal. (Well it hasn't yet for me, at least, in this particular case.) What time has done for me is to help me grow around my loss and grief. This has then led to a change in perspective that has allowed me to incorporate what happened into my everyday life. My sense of loss is always simmering beneath the surface, though. When I discovered Kevin, it was just before what would have been my son's 42nd birthday. At last I had the means with which to finish this song. I felt really happy about that. As it turned out, this song was completed just in time to be a birthday present to my late son. I couldn't have done this without Synth V and Kevin.

I hope I haven't bored you with my story. I thought twice about writing this but then I realised that maybe there will be someone who reads this and for them, it will make a difference.

All the very best.
--Noel
