I wrote this song in 2014. I recorded it in December of 2017 and I put it on this album because all of the influences that are listed in this song are the inspirations that helped me develop my own…

This is a really personal song. When my wife was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer in March of 2016, we were devastated.  The next day she asked me "if I die, do you think you will re-marry?"  I said…
