My Rants

Its funny how sometimes you just remember something. I was scanning radio stations in my car the other morning and it stopped on a country and western station. I heard a new Dolly Parton song. This triggered a memory for me. I remembered one song of hers that I use to listen to over and over again. It was one of the few things that actually made me feel something other than numb. It gave me a kind of hope, a wish that I could be just like sandy in the song. She is fearless and open and searching for love. I was always fearful and closed and in desperate need of love. So the need of love was our common ground. I have had parts of the song running through my head for a few days now. I could not remember all the words all I knew was that this song was a very important thing in my life when I was young.

I found this song on a website with the lyrics. It is here I must warn that this song is a real tear jerker. If you do not wish to cry do not click on the link. If you wish to read the lyrics but not hear the song go here instead.

I like sandy and little Andy have found peace and the end of my strife, or should I say that she found me. My wife answered the door and offered me a bed and some ginger bread and some candy and she does love me. All of my troubles are not over because of her, they are all manageable now thanks to her. I did not realize the significance of the song when I first remembered it. As I played those bits and pieces over in my mind things started to click and to make sense. I could relate to parts of the song. My life like Sandy's ended once I found that love. A new life began then for me same as Sandy's does.

Thank you baby for answering the door on that cold and stormy night, you saved me from the rest of my life. For this I will be eternally grateful.

Love you.
