about

My uncle Randy died of Covid and Kidney failure August 31st 2021. In on honor of him I started writing this song, with the help of words from my aunt Susie Kesecker and friends, Ingrid Graudins, Kelly Tilton, Julie Grebenku, this song came to life:

lyrics

Lyrics:
Cold white hospital room
You lay there breathing
Breathing slowly

There’s nothing I can do
wait till the phone rings
Someone will tell me your gone

I am not ready
To Only hold memories
There are no words for the pain in my chest
The silence is deafening
I’m stuck reminiscing
What if goodbye is as good as it gets

I'm ok, I'll be fine. Just one step, one a moment at a time.
There are no words for all the love, kindness showed me.
The stories you told me

I am not ready
To Only hold memories
There are no words for the pain in my chest
The silence is deafening
I’m stuck reminiscing
What if goodbye is as good as it gets
