I’m 15 for a moment. I remember 15 well. It was a summer of sunshine and being in love for the first time. I think the pain of “good-bye” is what kept 15 so vivid in my memory.
I think of this song as my birthday song. I always
have. It is because I plan to live to 98. I realize that’s not 100, but it is
pretty close. Life’s journey doesn’t always take you where you expect. A lot of
time gets caught up in living every day with very little reflection. Sometimes it
takes a song to make us pause and be thankful.
At 45 I met 15 again. Yes, sometimes life
gives you a second chance. But more than that, God gave me a chance to say “welcome
back.” I guess that is what living is all about. 
Tears.
