Your separation would feel the same and i can only imagine now how you must be feeling. my heart goes out to you and your son and you should be so proud of your strength. if we get a number 1 it is because our song has touched so many and that to me and my fellow choir members is the greatest reward. thank you for your support and please always take the message to be your own - that is what it is for - we were just privileged enough to be the carriers. much love Beth Trantham (MWC)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175766962148214842.post-51585131595768154212011-12-08T00:01:18.751+00:002011-12-08T00:01:18.751+00:00Dear Sarah i am also part of the Military Wives Ch...Dear Sarah i am also part of the Military Wives Choir and oh my god you brought tears to my eyes. im so sorry for your loss and the heartache you will feel for a very long time to come im sure and i feel so humble that you feel our song at least in some small way may help you on your next chapter in life with your son.
