Be ready by the end of this song you will be cring/weeping.
She was rasied by her gran father,her mom deserted her and dad in prison.
She has that desire after all these years for her mom.
I would love to meet her, and have her help us all get some laws changed????!!!!!!!!!!
There is actually several singers out thee that were raised by grand parents, again that domino effect, what would have been their lifes if grand parents would not have stepped in to rescue them?

I understood this time it one of her first times to sing it and it hit her hard while she was singing it,it was so heart felt by her, she seem to be choking the words out towards the end.
Her reaction hit me as hard as the words to the song.

WOW I have to let my daughters hear that, I adopted a sibling group of three and they were 3,4,and 5 when I got then, the oldest kinda remembered her mother who left them because she was pregnant again, ended up with two more children that the grandparents raised. The girls found their mother who is mentally ill and a drug addict. They had always talked about finding her and now they don't want anything to do with her. They would lose it listening to this song.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
