Starting off my week was actually good to write in this blog. This week will be a huge rememberance to my good friend Abby Cockrill who was killed in a drunk driving accident on August 22 of this year. It really shook me inside because she was the first good friend of mine in my 23 years that I have lost. In relating this post and her to music there is some songs that really make me think of her and her life. "Defying Gravity" from the musical Wicked is a song that always makes me remember her because she and I loved that musical so much.
"I'm through accepting limits
''cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity"
Another song that reminds me of her is a song that came out in country music right at the time of her death. It was like she was trying to tell us something. It is called, "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry.
"A penny for my thoughts, oh no I’ll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I’m a gonner
And maybe then you’ll hear the words I been singin’
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin’"
Songs can really help a person cope and mourn over a lost friend or relative. I know music has helped me cope with her loss and this week being her bell ringing and her 22nd birthday on Friday. This week is a week of rememberance to her life and how much I truly miss her.
