I talked to my little sister about the things that I have on my chest right now.

When we were little, as most of you know, things were extremely rough. I think that things were harder for her, but she thinks that's because I've blocked out some memories (could be).

Anyhow, I don't really know how to word how it felt to live in our house when the !@#$ hit the fan (which was often). It was like we were stripped of everything we longed for. Even then, there was always something left.

When I loose site of that, she remembers. That something is like cool waters, and this is the song that she sent me that describes it well.

I hope that I bring her memories of comfort when they seem far as well.

the only promise that remains
by Reba MacEntire and Justin Timberlake

lyrics

When the ground beneath you starts a-shakin'
And you forget the place we came from
When you're lost and lookin' for you're way home
You're way home to me
I'll come out and find you
When the world around you starts a-movin'
And you should wonder if I still love you
If you feel the darkness comin', risin' inside
I'll make a light to guide you back home

And after all the sky is fallin' down
And after all the water's washed away
My love's the only promise that remains

When your doubts have got you thinkin'
Nothing's ever really sacred
And you're afraid you might believe in...
Believe in me

And I'll give you a reason
Cuz the world around us keeps on movin'
And there's no doubt that I still love you
So when you feel the darkness comin', risin' inside
I'll make a light to guide you back home

And after all the sky is fallin' down
And after all the water's washed away
My love's the only promise that remains
My love's the only promise that remains
My love's the only promise that remains

And after all the sky is fallin' down
(After all the sky is fallin' down)
And after all the water's washed away
(After all the water's washed away)
My love's the only promise that remains

This is also a pretty cool song off Neil Diamond's latest album 'Home Before Dark' -- "Pretty Amazing Grace"
