This week's tune was written in memory of a man who would have turned 32 late last week. He was taken from this world 3 years ago and we wrote the tune as a way to try to help bring healing to those who loved him. We share it today in his memory, yes, but also ask you to listen to it, share it, and maybe get a bit of healing from it too.
