"You know the greatest loves of all time are over now"
When I was a senior in high school my best friend's parents divorced. I was shocked and when I told my friend how sorry I was that it happened, all she said was "well not everyone can be Pat and Dave now can they". That beyond opened my eyes to my parents' relationship. Since that day, over 15 years ago I've always strived and dreamed of a marriage like theirs. Was it perfect? No. Was it free of arguments and fights? No. They worked and worked and worked at it. 3 weeks after celebrating 37 years together my dad lost his battle with cancer.
The pain of missing him hurts to my bones and breaks my soul on a daily basis. 3 things save me on that same daily basis. My husband, my son, and @taylorswift.
I knew 2020 was going to be hard because of so many firsts without my dad. #Folklore is no exception. It's Taylor's first album I couldn't discuss with him and I know he would have loved it.
I know Tay will never see this but I hope someday she'll know how much her music means to me and what it meant for mine and my dad's relationship this past year.
