- Beloved Israel "Iz" Ka'ano'i Kamakawiwo'Ole sings his renowned medley of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "What a Wonderful World." Israel was among the most celebrated of Hawaiian performers with a kind and gentle spirit that is evident in his touching voice. He tragically died in 1997 of an heart attack at an early age (38) and has been sorely missed by his many adoring fans.
According to Wikipedia: "The Hawaii State Flag flew at half-staff on July 10, 1997, the day of Kamakawiwoʻole's funeral. His koa wood coffin lay in state at the Capitol building in Honolulu. He was the third person in Hawaiian history to be awarded this honor, and the only one who was not a government official. Approximately ten thousand people attended the funeral."
The 64 photos of Rainbows were selected from Google and Bing image searches for "rainbow" to help visualize Israel's soaring words and melodious Spirit that still touches and inspires our deep places many years after he has gone. Thank you Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole. - Hudba
My lovely wife of 25 years, this was her favorite song and she has sadly passed on today this day of 3/29/2019, we will be playing this song as a tribute to her wonderful legacy, one of my favorite songs to.
im sorry for your loss
this was the song i sang to my mom when i was a child. she passed 4-19-2016. everytime i hear this gentle soul singing it, i cry my eyes out. im sorry for ur loss man.
My condolences
May she rest in peace
My husband died last August it's been hard to live without he am sad this world is so scary life is unpredictable
This song deserves every award invented by man. The song speaks a million words. A song that is spoken from the heart.
no because the real life one has no heart or soul
+Barack Obama I agree and an interesting story about the singer and his shortened.
+Carmine Petrangelo Life. I left out life. Sorry.
+sis thankyou for your prayers and thoughts. He has a great voice and i love how he added what a wonderful world. my thoughts and prayers are with his families.
who knows this song after watched the movie called blende? acted by adam sandler😭😭 one of the most touching movie. When Laura sings for Jim's daughter, it was the first time i heard the song and the lyrics tell a thousand things. This song is so beautiful. Btw sorry for my bad english :)
I had twins born at 23 weeks old, only 500 grams each. The doctors told us they likely wouldn't survive. I would play this song to them through their incubator.
They are 5 years old now and healthy happy kids. Sometimes I will still play them this song and it's like magic. They will go quiet through the whole song, and sometimes start to cry.
I honestly believe this song helped to keep them with me.
That is a beautiful story. Godbless you and your wonderful family 💙
Godbless them.
Awe 💕
Praise God, unfortunately my sons 3rd child was 4 days old and the only thing that gives me any sense of ok is I know ALL BABIES GO TO HEAVEN. She was their 3rd child, 2nd baby that God took home the first 3 days. Anyhow this song was played at my granddaughter Scouts service...Looking forward to meeting them someday
❤thank you for your comment i am😢 crying because of it
My mom passed away in August of this year. I buried her on a rainy afternoon and said my final farewell to her. She was my biggest fan, my biggest cheerleader. She always made me feel confident, and loved unlike my father. I will miss my mom forever. I’d like to believe she is somewhere over the most beautiful rainbow.
Im so sorry for your loss she’s in peace now look down on you you must be mailing her proud
@@mrwii5592 thank you for your kind words. I feel that my mom is in a much better world where there is no more pain and suffering. God bless you and your loved ones.
So sorry for your loss I lost my mum in September and we played this at her funeral 💕 🌈 xx
@@janeanarmstrong5146 Thank you for your kind word. I am sorry you lost your mom. I know how you feel. That was really nice playing this beautiful song for your mom. I wish I had done that. I am sure your mom was listening from above. Our moms are both in a better world. God bless.
Missing my mom tonight, she always made me feel special, she was 94 when she passed 3 years ago. She was my biggest fan. I loved her dearly!
Guys, he is not dead,
He is somewhere over the rainbow. :)
so basically hes dead

😭😭😭 true sniff
Awwww 😭😭💞💞
Jay Boss awwwww 💕
I played this song at my son's funeral. Everytime I hear it I am moved to tears. Israel was the dew on the petal of a Hawaiian flower. Gems like him are rare. What a gift he has left for us all!
GOD BLESS YOU SIR
all my love to you
Sorry to hear tgat
God bless you
good bless you!
It’s been 3 years today that I saw my Dad alive. I miss him so much!!! 😢
Humanity is lucky to have been blessed by Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole's talents. His voice literally soothes the soul.
My mother in law heard me singing this song just a little while before she passed and asked me to sing this at her funeral, she passed last Saturday, we are going to play this version of it. It is beautiful and much better than I could ever do. Rest in Peace Mom, we know you are happy with Max now somewhere over the rainbow.
May she rest in peace.
If you have someone else to go get your song
Hey there

That made tear up...God life is harsh...
Who's getting sad or at least dropping some tears going through the comments and listening to the song?

Me too
I ´M VERY SURPRISED THAT SO MANY PEOPLE GET SAD WITH THIS SONG IT MAKES ME IMMENSLY HAPPY AND SEREIN ..
It makes me think of the lost ones cause it speaks about the sky. So I get sad and makes me cry
I played this song while my fur baby was dying in my arms.. Today makes a whole year and I’m still completely broken without her.😔
I’m so sorry, losing a fur baby is so painful that words can’t even describe. Your fur baby is somewhere over the rainbow missing you too. Hopefully if there is another side, I’m sure your baby misses u so much and will come running into your arms when you go on your own journey somewhere over the rainbow💟🦋✨🌹🌺🌷🌸🌼🕊
Oh my. Bless you lovely.
Me too....I also played you are my sunshine to him all the time. I can't listen to these songs without 😪 balling. It's only been a month since my dog got his angel wings. I miss him so much.💔
Sorry for your lost.
In Loveing memory of a special son Andrew 37 . So missed from mum and family ❤ and friends he is some where over the rainbow 🌈 Beautiful song ❤
37. I lost my oldest son tao years ago on June 1st. 37. Hugs.
I took my Mom to Maui about 6 years ago as a part of a vow that I would take her to all the places that she wanted to go that Dad wasn't able to. While there, I bought IZ's CD that had this song on it and I played it in the rental car all while we were there. Mom passed away from Alzheimers this past February (2018) and now when I play this song, I think back to the fun times my Mom and I had in our one and only trip to Hawaii.
Stacey Cooper we are here for you you can think of the memories you’d like
Who's cutting the goddamn onions
I got your feelings, hope your mom in the heaven will have peaceful time and listen this song too. Again, im so sorry.
Thank you! :)
God bless
Doctors say I have a year to live. Fighting to live!
so sad to here you're fight for life must be very hard for you i hope this song takes away some of you're pain ....
you will make it through!!!! just keep fighting and don't give up!!!
Whatever it is, keep fighting and please go clean eating as much as u can. Dr Morse may be good start, water fasting... I have know the cases when doctors had no faith but our bodies do know how to heal, please give it a chance!
Don’t give up man
Dont give up
He called a radio station in the early morning and simply asked nicely to make a recording. And today, we have this masterpiece that makes so many people very happy!
This is the definitive version of Over the Rainbow. It cannot be performed better by anyone living today.
my mum died two weeks ago, this was her favourite song.. we played it at her funeral.. and also while she was fading away in her bed.. I hate you cancer.. I'll miss you forever Mamma...
Cancer sucks. I have friends and family that have had it or now suffering. I can feel your pain.
I'm sorry for your loss I know it's probably hard having to have someone you love just go
❤
i'm so sorry for you...i had a nearly same experience with my grandfather he died because cancer too😢 and every time i hear this song i remember all the people that i knew who died....
Condoglianze,sii forte ❤😟
In a hospital room on one of my husband's last nights here on earth, there was a rainbow outside the window...the rainbow stayed and stayed...A complete beautiful circle , clear and didn't go away. I'll never forget it. A rainbow represents God's promise. And I knew he was with us that night.
It was just for you. My husband was at home with hospice and it was horrific. Not peaceful at all. He was afraid of dying. Stage 4 cancer. NO warning. So love and hug someone daily as you never know tomorrow.
How many husband's ya got?
The rainbow represents The Most High AbbaYah Elohiym promise to "NEVER BRING DESTRUCTION OF THE ENTIRE
EARTH WITH RAIN EVER AGAIN!"
The next destruction will be with "NUCLEAR FIRE, By the powers of GOVERNMENTS!!!
Its in the book of REVELATION..
Study it!!!
My grandpa loved this song and died of cancer stage four the second me and my mom barged through the door..he died two days ago,i told him to give my dad a hug in heaven(he died when i was 6) and cancer almost took my mom..
@@pandoria1400 they will now watch your way in life and will life forever in your heart RIP I lost my grandma before my birth from wat I heart I would hat have a really funny grandma now she lives in my heart from stories (died also from cancer)
My son's 10th anniversary today!
Before he died, he played this beautiful song.
Here I am, listening such a wonderful song, drinking a glass of wine in my patio, where he spended the last day!
The curtain moved to proved, that he is Here, hugging like Before!
I love you so much my darling, my everything!!
God bless you
I’m so sorry for your struggle, but know that we’re proud of you!
This man makes me smile... thank you. I hope you're up in heaven smiling back.
Missing Mamita and Joseph ❤

My daughter listens to this song every night before bed i used to sing it to her when she was an infant as she's my rainbow baby (a baby born after a miscarriage) and she fell in love with his voice recently 💕
My daddy passed away a month ago; i find comfort and peacefulness when i listen to this. I can't wait to be reunited with him one day. I miss him so much 😭💞🙏🏻

This song was just added to the National Recording Registry. 1 of 25 inducted this year. 900 songs were nominated. Quite an honor and now considered a "culturally, historic" song. Finally, some true recognition for IZ.
The man had a voice of an angel! RIP Iz!
Who's still enjoying in 2020?
Listening to this on 02/01/2020
Always 🌈♥️
I am still listening 2-10-20, so beautiful

I am. Just returned from a trip to Maui, also, and the pictures with this video look SO FAMILIAR! As is the tune.
My grandfather passed this morning while listening to this song. 😢

i think my favorite thing about this was that he recorded this in one take at 3am
My Wife Marnie would always cry whenever she heard the song Somewhere Over the Rainbow. 3 months after I lost Marnie I found this version of the song on my Google homepage. I instantly started crying uncontrollably, remembering Marnie. I played this song at her inurnment the day she was put to rest. It's been 2 years and it still touches my heart.
This was the song played at my mom’s funeral when I was 17. She loved this song and Hawaii. Listening helps me stay connected to her 🤍
Goodbye Granny....I will hope to see you over the rainbow :')
ohh..that's sweet♡♥
I hope my sister is over the rainbow too :'(
Sorry 😭. Bless her

Hi I'm Luna Lovegood whats your name???
Thanks, you too.
This simple song with only one musical instrument, with a warm and purple voice like the southern seas, full of pain but also full of optimism, seems to have been sung by an Angel! It seems that the whole world needs more love!
I visited Hawaii with my family when I was twelve. The view was so beautiful and people were nice and friendly. We had a great time over there.
Last year my father passed away.
I felt very sad.
This song brings back the happy memories I shared with my dad when he was alive.
Good memories are always there to warm our heart.
May all the people who like this song find happiness and create loving moments with the ones you care !💕
Live Laugh Love🌼⚘⚘⚘🎉
"I see friends shaking hands saying "how do you do?" they're really saying "I love you"" this speaks to me on such a deep level

Im bi so this speaks to me lmaoo
That's actually a line from "What a wonderful world". It's a quote
I always listen to this when I feel sad. I played the song at my husband's funeral yesterday.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with your family

I'm sorry for your loss

My mom always used to play this for my big sister, when she was a baby and before I was born she got in a car accident with my mom who was only 18 at the time. My mom was unconscious and my sisters seat wasn't strapped in right and it ended with her give less than a day to live and having permanent brain damage so she could walk, talk, see, or have basic functions. She survived and because of this our family didn't love her any less they had me and then my little brother she loved past all her life expectations, 5 years then 10 then 15. We knew she was in pain and would soon have to learn to let go because 20 was very unlikely for her as her breathing was getting hallow in the last week of her life us not knowing it was and just passing it as she's sick. She would constantly cry in her last months and had seizures long before that due to her epilepsy. On Christmas Eve while my mom was out and me and my brother were doing our own thing not paying attention as she was asleep in her bed as she usually was seeing as she was 18 and done with special needs school. She passed away in her sleep and we didn't notice until my mom got back. It was a shattering moment in my life full of regrets and pain knowing I never got to know my sister due to her condition and I didn't spend time with her because I just thought she would keep living. Keep going against the odds. I loved her with every bit of me and shared a room with her almost all my life meaning when I went to sleep and woke up she was always the first and last thing I'd see. I wish I helped take better care of her or just maybe read a book to her instead of just playing disney music and leaving with my friends. Even if she couldn't understand me or didn't recognize, she always seemed more comfortable when it was me or my mom talking to her and would laugh at random things. I'm happy she at least had that in life, she had a beautiful smile. I'll always and forever love you Emily. No matter what. I know you could only eat to a certain age before g tubes because of choking but I hope you're eating all the delicious foods in heaven and dancing and laughing miles at all the dumb things your family does down here that we plan to share with you one day. I'll never forget you. Happy Birthday by the way. You would been 19. :( Forever more love youre biological little but considered big sister Caroline. I miss you and ill see you some day. :^) ❤
Much love for you

Heard this tune for the first time by Brother Iz coming home from work. Loved it. It stuck in my head.
I can't get past how beautiful his voice is and how much it touches my heart!!!
Yes

Neither can I.
I did not realize this song was about loss until I lost my baby inside me at 6 weeks... Sky is their name...because that’s what will always remind me of my baby love...

In 1998, Israel called up a studio at 3am and asked the owner if he could record something he'd been working on. He was so polite, the owner said yes. He showed up 15 minutes, sang and played this song using his ukulele, and with just one recording out came this song we know and love today

This rendition of the song is incredibly powerful. It was used in the Imax3D movie Hubble and I saw that with my mother. She passed two years ago and last Sunday I heard this song at a local eatery and I welled up.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I recently lost my mother (July 17th, a day before her 67th birthday) and her favorite song was "What a Wonderful World". and Israel's rendition is beautiful.
How Great Thou Art! Lord Jesus Christ Holy Spirit!

A couple years ago my uncle died. He was more of a father figure to me than my actual father was. Before his passing, this was his favorite song. We played it at his funeral and my Abuela cherishes it because it reminds her of my uncle.

God bless the 13 Marines that died over the weekend in the Middle East. I pray to God you’re in a better place now thank you for serving us.
This song is sooooo beautiful and so me !!!!!!!!!! I have Rainbow eyes with The Most High power !!!!! Holy spirit is in me .
I dedicate this song to me. The person I used to be, but no longer can be. To the child within me, looking up at me with big eyes. The child that was replaced with the one I am today. I dedicate this song to the changes I chose and the changes forced upon me. To the people on the pages in my book, the happy and the blue. To the person who taught me betrayal, to the person who taught me love, to the person who taught me compassion and trust, to the person who taught me heartbreak, and to the person who taught me fear. I dedicate this song to the person I will become as the wind changes around me, to all the new faces I will meet. I dedicate this song to the sleepless nights in my bedroom, the times of selfharm and blood dripping down the drain. I dedicate this song to my healing, and of forgiving myself. I dedicate this song to people helping me, and to the people pulling me down. I dedicate this song to me to remind me of the good times, the good people and the good things to come. Because I can fly over the rainbow.
Yes you can, well written, and very inspirational
HoloPhan I pray you continue to heal from the pain in your life. It can be very difficult to do.

Me too my mom passed when it was playing, I would like to think she and my dad are together. The undertaker said my mom had a smile on her face.
I dance with my old dog to this song everyday before and after I return home from work.
I always miss my dad 👨... I lost him when I was just 15 n no one was ther to guide me ... miss u dad love u 💓
Somewhere Over the Rainbow the original from Wizard of Oz, had always been a favourite of my wife and her Gran who lived in Kariba in what was then Rhodesia.
One night we were watching a movie Joe Black and during the credits at the end this new version came up.
My darling wife passed away on Sunday 6/11/2023, she was only 73 years old and we had been married 53 years.
This song was played at her memorial last Thursday, and I notice in the comments that this is quite a common theme
Thank you Izzy for the legacy you left behind and the broken hearts that you have helped to heal. RIP.
When I hear this song I think of my mom and how perfect the world could be if we can get passed all our differences. My mom died 3 years ago and I remember my dad telling us we had to go to the store and then dropping us off at the next door neighbor's house. That night I saw the flashing cop car lights and ambulances. The next day we came home and my sister was there even though she left to go back to New York the day before. My dad called her back and we all sat on the cough and he told us she had died. I didn't know how to process it. The doctors say they couldn't find out why she died, but they think it's because the night before she took Medicine that didn't mix well together. It was the saddest day of my life.
I am so sorry for your lost.
this is a good song
I'm in a similar situation, ive already lost my dad, and everyone else, my moms the only one i have left and she has cancer but it doesn't change the constant friction between our differences, but reading this comment while listening to the song it makes me want to try, I'm sorry for your loss, maybe you can find some solace in the fact your story might affect another life in a positive way
so sad!! 😢

Condolences to all of you and the ones you love.
Played at my best friends memorial. It was something that drew us all to tears, because she used to iritate the crap out of us by singing it, and we would give anything now to hear her off key voice one more time.
We would do anything to see the ones we love one last time and I'm sorry for your loss

I just recently found out about Israel. His voice is a gift for everyone who hears it. So beautiful, warm and inviting, beckoning everyone within hearing distance with Aloha. This song instantly transported me back to my early years in Hawaii.
I grew up in Hawaii from the age of 3 until I married, and am grateful my dad chose to live there after WWII. I get choked up every time I hear a voice that reminds me of my early years there, but his is much more than just a beautiful voice. My memories are all I have of the islands and if I could download them to digital, I would wind his song throughout that album.
This was me and my dads song but he passed away 2 yrs ago when i was 9 😢 i remember falling asleep to this song 😔 but to this day i cant listen to amazing grace it played at his funeral i was crying so bad😭 i miss u daddy i love u so much forever and always remember?😔💔 Love, ur Little-Peanut-Monkey(always was his nickname for me)😢

This song always lifts me up after crying to it. Its such a beautiful song and has sedimental valie to me because it is my grandfathers favorite song along with other older family members that I dont see very often... so if im missing them I listen to this. Im only 15 but who cares youre more of a man if you cry than keep it in. Have a blessed day all.
I'm sorry about your grandfather. Have a great day! 😊

+Jimmith III A real man will admit how he feels, whether it be happiness or tears. Understanding ourselves makes us stronger, not hiding away emotions. If you bottle your tears away, you will eventually explode on someone. The OP is only 15 and understands more about life than you ever will.
With that said, thank you for sharing, Jake. It's amazing how such beautiful music affects us and triggers memories like that.
Today would have been my grandson's 2nd birthday. This song reminds me of him. I know he is waiting for me over the rainbow and I can't wait to see him again. In loving memory of Levi Keith Warman 9/20/19 - 10/26/19
I listen to this whenever I need a boost for my mental health. Self care is important, hope Everyone is doing well
I've never cried so much before. This song was played at my dad's funeral two years ago.
ThatGayGirl So sad to see all these people come here because it was played at a funeral :'c
so sorry for your loss
we'll be playing this at the wake after my mothers funeral in two weeks time... :(
Allah sabır versin.:(
at least it's a good song...
My dog just died today and he was my one and only bestfriend RIP bby I miss and love you
I'm terribly sorry. I loved my dog too, still stings my heart when I think of that Black Lab, Pepper - she has the saddest/kindest eyes Ive ever seen in any dog. She passed away more than 30 yrs ago. Still miss her, always will.
I'm so sorry for your lost, i lose my dog too and i'm going to miss him so much, he was my everything, but i know that i'm going to see him again :)
My dog died when he "accidentally" fell off a cliff trying to get his ball

I... I uhh.. I gotta ask. You put 'accidentally' in quotes. Did you... did you kill your dog? I really don't want this to sound disrespectful, but putting it in quotes makes it seem like you killed you dog.
Out of the small amount of words and cords used, all of them touch my heart.
My mother, father, aunt's, uncles, and, some of my other family members on both sides of the family have passed away. I play this song when I think about them.
I'm not crying, you're crying.
no, its invisible ningas cutting onions
Merrick362 yes, yes I am freezing crying 😭
Merrick362 exactly
No I'm not. I just have a condition.

He's not dead he's just somewhere over the rainbow (;

Who's dead?
This has been one of my mothers favorite songs for years. She found so much beauty and comfort in it. And a sense of melancholy.
A week ago, I said goodbye to her after she lost her battle with Leukimia. A few days before, I was singing some things too her, I've loved to sing since I was little. And the one song she requested was this one. I couldn't remember all of it, and I'm pretty sure I couldn't hit some of the notes. But she told me it was beautiful.
She is everything good and kind about me. She fought for 2 years, she wanted to make it another 20. I miss her so much. But I truly feel blessed that I got to have time with her to say things that needed to be said. And spend some time just being happy. She spent her life worrying about her kids, but she saw me handle all of the buisness ends of this and come back to her and try to just make it about her.
And she told me she was proud of me. And despite that being a shining beacon of hope and love for me it also broke my heart down to my core, and it hurts so much when I remember her saying that.
I hope she rests easy. I hope she can still hear me singing.
I'm so sorry that she passed away so young. It's also been my favorite song since I first heard it as a child when watching the Wizard of Oz movie on television back in 1963. Tom from Wisconsin.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh oh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't I?
Well I see trees of green and red roses too
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well I see skies of blue
And I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Singing, "How do you do?"
They're really singing, "I, I love you."
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world world
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why oh, why can't I?

My grampas favorite song and I moss him dearly :'( he died last year when. I was in six grade, I remember that day to...I got off school with my little brothers who was in 5th grade at the time and my mom n gramma was in the car, and on our way to the hospital in the car I remember my mom saying "boys , this is your last time you get to talk to papa, so tell him you love him and tell him to be strong and tell him everything you love about him being your grampa." ..... n my little brothers thought he was just gonna be in the hospital for a long time , they didnt think itbwas time to say goodbye as him dieing and going up to heavin....so my little brothers said "I know mommy , I know" with a smile on there faces...
it was sad that my little brothers didnt understand....so when we got to the hospital I remember my gramma (his wife) saying "we will get our last dance tracey I promise" "we will get our dance".. and so everyone said there goodbyes and things.. n a couple hours went buy so we as the family went out to eat and were just sharing funna memories about him...then unfortunately when we got back to the hospital, the dr told us theyre gonna take him off life support :'( so that was it, it was time to say our final goodbyes, and everything we wanted to tell him we had to say it to him then...so an hour past by n then they took him off life support and he was dieing slowly :'( n everyone got to go in there one on one to talk to him, untill unfortunately his heat beat started to beat slower and slower, so the nurses checked on him and told us we have to get out for a little bit to give the room air...so we went out and came back in there like 30 minutes later and I saw my grampa blue :'( n my uncle told me to go back out as he was behind me n so we left n right when we went out to the door back to the waiting room, the dr came out and pronounced him dead :'( n my uncles started crying , n that made me cry to see my whole family sad and down....but befor he died we played his favorite song...qhich was this sone....R.I.P PAPA YOULL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS...

The moment a dear and very close friend died, I smiled and listened to this song over and over again and a thought of my friend kept warming my heart. She was someone I respected, adored, enjoyed being around, and laughed our heads off so many times over the silly, playful, goofy stuff and sometimes we had thought provoking conversations. We created space for each other to be vulnerable and and we comforted each other and talked things through. Sometimes we debated over our theories of life and argued. Over all, we experienced a lot together. The moment she passed away, I felt gratitude for such wonderful times with her and the time we shared together. We often go on our daily routine as if being alive is forever but when someone important in our life passes away, we come to understand that the time together is a gift. Being present with her allows me to remember her clearly. I’m smiling and giggling about the fun times we had as I wrote this.
This gave me a different outlook on my friend that died to fentanyl last year thank you
Dad, I miss you so much. R.I.P. May 25, 2017.

This song brings me so much peace when I'm having a bad day. My toddler relaxes and falls asleep in my arms when I play this on loop. I think we have our first favorite song. ❤
My grandson knows this must be the only song at my memorial service
