My sympathy to you and your wife. I lost my son two months ago, so I have some idea of what you’re going through. You said “the craziest, most ridiculous, things will get you through the worst times in your life”. How true. I’ve run the full gamut from maudlin R.E.M. (“Love is all around”) to some Mylo remixes.

My most sincere condolences to you and your wife. I lost my Grandmother last year and I know how hard the holidays can be after something like that. My Mommom (as she was known) practically raised me. Even in my twenties it seemed she was always there to take care of me. I guess that’s the one thing I always took for granted — that she was always there. I didn’t cry for weeks and weeks after she passed on. Then one night, I was listening to a CD and out of nowhere it finally hit me. For me, that song would be She Wants To Play Hearts by Ryan Adams. Now every time I hear that song I revisit that night from just over a year ago. It still hasn’t gotten any easier. The only good thing is, the next song on that CD is Tennessee Sucks.

I’m surprised you didn’t go with Prince’s “Sometimes it snows in April.” Damn, that song’s made me cry a few times.
