I Want to Share a Song With You - Forum & Chat Board | A Song For My Grandma

My Grandma died in 2007 from Alzheimer's. We kept her home with us instead of putting her in a nursing home. We are lucky enough to have a large family so there was always someone here to take care of her. It was, and still is, extremely hard. We miss her so much. Watching her just drift away from us was one of the hardest things that we have ever dealt with.  During her last days, we had hospice come to our house. They kept her comfortable but it certainly didn't make it any easier for us, though they did try. My husband was so overcome with emotion at the end, that this song just came to him on his way into work. He called it "Family Glue". We have decided to sell the song and donate 50% of the profits to the Alzheimer's Association. I know that you will all be able to relate to it, it is completely amazing. It has been 2 years and the song still brings me to tears, but it also helps me. I hope that his song will do the same for some of you. You can hear a sample of it and purchase it on our website http://www.illyrap.com/music . On August 11th it will be released on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, Napster and eMusic. I will also put a copy of the Press Release that we have sent out. I just want to say everyone out there is in my prayers, I understand what you are going through.
