Just Because

Some songs are just apropos at certain times. And they have a way of showing up when they are.

This one’s apropos today.



If someone you’re close to is still around, it might be a good idea to tell them what they mean to you the next time you see them. And if you haven’t seen someone you care about in a while – or if there are issues between you that need to be talked out – it might be a good idea to do that.

Tomorrow doesn’t come with a guarantee.

  1. Haven’t heard this one for a while… thanks.

  2. My father succumbed to battle fatigue (before PTSD was defined) when I was four. This song has a lot of meaning to me. Thanks.

    Really miss my Dad. His shoot down in France stories would make a great escape movie 🙂

    Very happy to share that with you today, Hondo. Had never seen the video, but had heard the song, of course. Very nice.

    I was able to about a year before his passing. bring peace and understanding between Dad and myself.just about a year before while he was still in good health.Certain songs mean alot to me and this is one of them. Thanks Joe

  10. When you have danced with the reaper as many times as I have in my life you gain a great understanding of the futility of the mortal arguments we have with those around us and how absolutely stupid they are as you gain more years and look back on them.

    You really didn’t have to toss all that sand in my eyes Hondo, but I thank you. Gives me some ideas of things to do while I still can.

    No intent to cause anyone pain by posting the above, folks. Heard that on the radio while traveling yesterday and right now it just kinda hits home a bit.

    There’s never a guarantee about tomorrow. And when someone’s gone, it really is too late to say anything else.
