Keep Me in Your Heart.

November is hard.  Truthfully, October and November are hard.  As much as I try to sail through it, I cannot help but be filled with memories of October/November 2018.  The waves of grief are becoming a bit less overwhelming and further between, but they still sneak up on me.  Tonight I came across this email.  It was a song that Kevin had sent me not too long before he died.  Listening to it, I cannot help but think 'of course'.  Yes, I will keep him in my heart for awhile...a long while.

Eddie Vedder - Keep Me in Your Heart For Awhile (Warren Zevon).

Keep Me in Your Heart

Shadows are fallin' and I'm runnin' out of breath
Keep me in your heart for a while
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for a while
When you get up in the mornin' and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for a while
There's a train leavin' nightly called "When All is Said and Done"
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sometimes when you're doin' simple things around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile
You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse
Keep me in your heart for a while
Hold me in your thoughts
Take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes
Keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you
Engine driver's headed north up to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for a while
These wheels keep turnin' but they're runnin' out of steam
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
