Wow B.D., I don't know how you did it, but you did it masterfully. The emotion comes through with every syllable. I'm very sorry for your pain, your dad's pain and the loss of your mother. She has left behind a son who has now shared some of her memory with all of us, and I thank you for it. Hang in there. Eventually the sun will shine again, and as in your song, you will be able to see her smile like the first sunray after a long rainy day.
Brad Thank you for your kind and comforting words, Brad. I really appreciate it!

B.D.,
So sorry for your loss . . . so tough to lose a parent, tougher yet to lose a spouse. A sad tune . . . but for me, they always seem the best, simply because the emotion is real and true; happy songs rarely touch the soul in the same way. This is excellent . . . in all aspects from the write and the production.
So, the vocal is what takes this over the top for me . . . I know you typically use vocaloids, but that’s not what this is, is it? (There are breaths and pauses that I don’t associate with vocaloids). But regardless, a terrific vocal that makes this shine.
Good stuff
Deej Thank you very much, Deej. I also think it's amazing how deep emotions can bring out intense songs and intense songs can bring out deep emotions. We have the best hobby of all.

Strong and emotionell. Thanks for sharing. When my mom died a few years ago I took the guitar and sat alone playing and crying. Playing guitar have been very good therapy for me the last years.

You so beautifully expressed your loss and we, among so many, have felt such grief and witnessed one of our parents coping with such a loss.
Janice read the lyric before listening and said, “he is right, you’re never really prepared.”
We hope that the memory of your Mama’s smile gives your comfort and that time helps to ease your heartache.
It is a fine production in all aspects.
J&B Thank you Janice, thank you Bud. I'm glad she always smiles when I dream about her when I sleep. Good memories are a great thing to have.

Brian,
very sorry about your loss. I hope that time will soften sharp edges for you.
Wonderful and passionate tribute. Very well composed and produced.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
P.S. Music is a good healer too, so don't stop. Thank you for your kind and comforting words, Misha. You're absolutely right, music is a great healer when you're sad. This song was very important to me, but to be honest, I was really scared to start it.

Thank you, Sören. Crying is good. When I get to the point where I have to cry, I feel much better. Incredibly sad, but better.

Losing my parents was the most painful thing in my life. Since my wife is younger and my kids are healthy, I'm hopeful (and praying) that I will never feel worse pain than that for the rest of my life. The pain never goes away but it does get better and fond memories eventually can make you smile and laugh. So sorry for your loss. VERY nice tribute. Take care. Greg
