I can’t seem to stay at home very long anymore, so I’m hiding out in the sand and the fog. I woke up this morning with the chorus of a song by Martina McBride running through my head, imagining my Hardy was next to me. I hope I get to see him again someday. I really miss him.
Here are the lyrics to the part of the song that was stuck in my head. It’s from McBride’s second album that was released in 1993 titled, The Way That I Am. The title of the song is, Independence Day. It’s about domestic violence, and was written by Gretchen Peters, who, coincidentally, has the same birthday as me (and maybe Hardy too). While it’s not one of my favorite songs, this morning it seems appropriate to quote.
Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day
~lyrics by Gretchen Peters

I hear this song all the time.... Roger listens to Sean Hannity every day on the radio and his show starts with this song! It really can buzz through your head, and get stuck there.
Fun to see your loved places in Santa Cruz.... but truly I am so sorry little Hardy boy is not able to share your stay there.... I hope you get to see him some day too. Wouldn't that be fun!
For now we have memories.... Keep the good ones, and toss all the rest. Life is too short to hold on to the yucky stuff.... it can just weigh you down. Just look UP and Sing!
