Tribute to Grieving Parents - Lady Gaga - Til It Happens To You

I saw Lady Gaga last month at a local dance club in my town.  I can't say for sure it was her, but if I was a betting person I would lay down $100 bucks on the affirmative.  I didn't go up and ask her if she was who I thought she was, I didn't take rude pictures. In my hometown we are pretty kind and let people be the people they want to be.  It would have been rude for me to get in her face, if it was her, she probably just wanted to hang out and dance to good music like the rest of us.  That is how my town rolls.  Anyway, after my sighting of her I pulled up some of her music on you tube and found this song.  I have never heard it before but is is spot on and made me cry because I KNOW THIS LOSS.  I know the pain and it is especially strong today because, 13 years ago today my family lost DJ, our 13 year old son due to a skateboarding accident.  We all loved him, he was the glue.  I miss his smelly 13 year old body and I miss the man he was supposed to be.  I miss the brother he was to his sister and his brother and I hate that our family was robbed of so much.

This is a song that speaks volumes.  There is nothing to learn about this except love the family you have, tell them you love them EVERYDAY because you don't know when you can't say those words to their beautiful, wonderful faces again.   Much love,   Lisa-forever DJ's mom
