When Words Fail Music Speaks





My husband, Dave, and I were driving down the road today when he said he had a song he wanted to play for me. He said this song expressed how he was feeling about this season of life we've just entered with my diagnosis of breast cancer.  

He played a beautiful, expressive instrumental piece that starts mezzo piano,* builds to fortissimo** and ends mezzo forte.*** 
My tears flowed as the music enveloped my heart and emotions. 

When the song concluded, Dave said he loved how the song expressed his feelings; like moving from under a cloud to a sense of triumph and peace. There were more tears...

I invite you to listen to this 4:21 minute song with a backdrop of beautiful scenery.

*Mezzo Piano:  moderately soft
**Fortissimo: very loud
***Mezzo Forte: moderately loud








In May, 2020, my son printed this song on canvas for me and
in February, 2021, I added the pink cancer-pin.
It's a constant reminder of God's grace and healing.
