Here is one of my favorite songs to sing--House of the Rising Sun. I recently realized that I didn't have many pictures that included me--mostly because I am the one taking the picture. So here are a few with just me or me and some friends (or relatives) just for fun. Enjoy!
Misery is inevitable when people are forced to leave loved ones, for whatever reason. We fail as a nation when we force such separations rather than finding ways to help people stay together and safe. Irving Berlin's song from a century ago speaks to this current kind of separation misery.
As the young boy learns in this song by Michael Merchant, we need to live our lives every day.
This sad song by Irving Berlin always makes me think of how often families must separate—through deaths, through wars, sometimes through hard decisions that force parting ways.
Though it is painful to see the wounds our world has suffered, continues to suffer—still I am thankful that I have had this chance to experience life in this amazing universe. Happy Thanksgiving!
