  • James from Arley, AlThis song is something you can use a way to deal with the lose of someone. My friend Ashton had to go through this at the age of 2 or 3. I let her listen to this song and she began to cry. She said that it reminded her mother. She bought the Cd for this one song. She loved it and I love the meaning.
  • Kris from Corpus Christ, Txamen to that. look how much it changed Sonny's life. God bless him.
  • Mike from Spokane, WaHis mother's death is what made him become a christian. Sometimes it takes bad things for us to open our eyes.
