Day 31 - Song Dedication

Shortly after Heather passed away, I heard a specific song that stopped me in my tracks. It said so many things I was feeling and experiencing and with the soulful emotion that only Mariah Carey can convey. It’s entitled “Never Forget You”. (Other than saying “baby” so often in the song which obviously doesn’t apply in this case)

As with so many things in my life, when I have a strong feeling or emotion about something, I write it down. So I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Heather that day- a letter that was too late to ever send. In the letter I dedicated this song to her in my heart and on that paper.

For today’s intention I have decided to publicly dedicate this song to my cousin Heather. This evening, I pulled up the song and just sat and listened to it with Vinny by my side. Afterwards, it was just quiet a moment. He knew. He just quietly said “what a pretty song”. I nodded my head in agreement and started writing today’s blog. I miss my lifelong friend and cousin, Heather so terribly.

In the poignant words of Mariah Carey let me quote:

“I’ll never forget you
I’ll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I’ll hold on to the memories”….
