I do not have the words to express how profoundly this touched my heart and spirit, and how grateful I am to you for sharing this. I was honored to be present as my grandmother passed away four days ago, passing the light on now to my mother's generation. My mother, one of her brothers, and I were present, and I sensed my grandfather's presence moments before she left us to join him. I was the most beautiful and heartbreaking and joyful thing, all at once. We have been going through old photos and newspaper clippings from the last century (Grandma was a youthful 97 years of age when she died), and as a amateur-turning-profesdional Genealogist, I have been immersed in my family history, my lineage, for days as we prepare for her funeral tomorrow. This song is my mantra now. I feel my lineage in every heartbeat and breath I take. It fills me with awe and respect and emotions I cannot even describe, much less name.
Thank you. Thank you so much for this timely and incredible song. I will go to sleep now with it running through my mind as I smile to myself, remembering the glorious nature of life and those who have come before me to make my own gorgeously messy life possible. 😊 As always, I see the light in you. 🤲❤️🤲
