Listening To "Who'd You Be Today" By kenny chesney

I know this song was mentioned on another thread I think. I had a freebie from walmart so I downloaded it off their music site. This is a nice feature you can do at Walmart.com...download songs for 88 cents and you can listen to a bit of them first.

I don't listen to a lot of country but this song is definitely one that you have to hear. I listen to it a lot right now.

It very much describes how I feel...especially where it talks about what our children would have named their babies....that really tears my heart out...that there will never be any little Michael's.....that he will never be a Uncle here on earth but will always be the Uncle known as the who died young......

I think the wondering will always be very hard. Our children were so very young...they didn't do so much.

I sit here and wonder who Michael might be today....

I believe he would still be living with us and completing his education and on the way to starting an awesome career in computers. I don't know if he would still be racing.....I guess its hard to imagine that as a part of his life......

If you get a chance to listen to this song please do but warning!!!! have tissues ready it will make you

Love to all of you,

Oh Pamela, I don't usually want to listen to anything that triggers tears. "To Where you Are" by Josh Grobin used to make me weep and now I never choose to listen to it. Eva Cassidy (who unfortunately died at quite a young age) has a song called "I Know You By Heart" and that makes me weep too, so I haven't listened to that for a while either.

Someday I'll probably hear that Kenny Chesny (or Chelsey) song, but I weep enough without seeking out sad reminders.

Music is so emotionally powerful. Right after Ian died and I was assembling picture albums and collages for his memorial service, I play Enya albums over and over and over. Do you remember her haunting Irish music? Well, now I can't listen to it at all because it takes me back to those first awful days. When Ian was younger, he referred to Enya as "Edna" and that always made us laugh.

Someday, I will be brave and I will seek out that Kenny Chesney song and listen to it and I'll let you know when I do.

I stopped at Walmart last night and bought Kenny's new CD. They had it on sale for $9.88. I didn't know you could download it.

I will have to listen for it, I don't think I have heard it

These songs make me cry too, but I think of the tears as a cleansing.

Well, Pamela, I did it . . . I went to the Walmart site and played "Who'd You Be Today" even though I said I avoided things that triggered tears. It did trigger tears because it conjures up those thoughts of where would our sons be now, what would they be doing and what good things their futures held. It's a nice song and it does make you weep.
