Send a cardinal to sing to me. Such beautiful words Darci.

Keeping the memory alive through song. Celebrating the life together is absolute.

This is absolutely beautiful - so full of love and gratitude. It reaches deep into my heart. Such a gorgeous melody and lovely harmonies. Love never dies despite life transitions and I’m so glad the love songs live on as well. I am imaginjng McQs warm smile in heaven as he hears this and sends all of his love to hold you close.

This is beautiful, Mom. I'm sure McQ is listening and loves it ❤ The chorus is joyous, as Tim says.. And the harmonies are a perfect touch. The minor chords in the verses really add to the reflection and make this such a lovely tribute.

Heartfelt indeed and loving, and an acceptance without totally giving up, am I saying this right? Probably not. Love the "send a cardinal to sing to me" (The first I ever saw outside a zoo was 2 years ago in hawaii) The simple uke backing is jsut right for this. Again, your harmonies give the chorus a joyous feel--not happy, joy isn't unalloyed brightness. I think I'd better stop here. Darci, it's a loving and lovely song. Well done!

"grief is on its own timeline " It is indeed. I don't look too far ahead because I know what is coming, and looking too far ahead is...grief...

The spare ukulele arrangement perfectly complements the heartfelt sentiments. My wife died 6 years ago and for over a year I wrote a note to her in a diary every night, so I understand that grief has its own timeline. Thank you for sharing that.
