My dad was diagnosed with cancer fall 2012. Stage 4 multiple myeloma he was given 3 years. My mom...my mom took it hard and told me that she thought they were going to retire and grow old together. When I heard this song on a car ride with a friend, I started crying for my mom because to me, this song encapsalates her struggle through his diagnosis and treatment.
Now he's in partial remission (and it's been 4 years and a few months since the diagnosis- haha doctors!) but each day is a reminder (the chemo pills, the loss in height from taking out the tumor from the base of his spine, his hunch, his shuffle, his palor).
Anyway, anytime I think of this song, I think of it in the context of my mom's struggle and it's tough.
