Pride and Joy

I don't hear "Africa" the way I did the first two years after Adam died. The signs were there, but now I am sure he's here with me. Communication is more direct. If millions of people believe in a God/Allah/Jehovah they can't see, why can't what I am experiencing be real?

This artist was recommended to me, and I first listened to her at work while I was writing notes, etc. This song came on, and I started silently weeping. I left my door open until it turned to audible sobs. I continued to listen at home, looking up the lyrics I couldn't understand. It can go both ways, but I felt stronger that I was asking Adam if I made him proud and he came back with "I'm proud of you, Mama. I wanted to be like you."

I found this live performance at Red Rocks which would be meaningful to Adam, since he was born in Denver and was very proud of that fact. It also shows the spirit of Brandi and her band.
