Cherry Blossoms in the Front Yards, Forever
My brother and his wife planted a cherry blossom at the front of their house after the loss of their daughter Maeve, who was with us for only 5 short days.
I’m not a homeowner as of yet. But I do know what I’ll be planting in my front yard when I am.
I like the idea of when my brother and his family see the flower bloom it’s like Maeve has popped down to check-in on them and say hello. Good thoughts are tough to come by in sad times.
A few plucked guitar notes aren’t going to take much of the sting out of losing Maeve. But I had her on my mind, as I often do, while I had a guitar in my lap one evening. And after a few months of the usual late night tedium that comes with writing, recording, and mixing a follow song, this is what I ended up with.
