i knew today was going to be a tear shedding one, from the early morning rise after a late night of royal wedding wine and being accidentally punched in the face during today's workshop presentation, but i didn't realise i'd have to pull this one out.
if you read a post i made a few months ago about "first love" when i tried a different kind of meme and failed, you'll already know about the song i have for you today: Taylor Dayne's Love Will Lead You Back.
the easy way for me to do this, would be to find the link to that post and just copy it here, but i don't think that would do this post any justice. the reason this song makes me sad: when i was about 10, i adopted a kitten i had witnessed being born and had some hand in his birth - essentially i just said "mum, he's mine", and that was that. the TL;DR version is that he was hit by a car 9 months later and i was devastated by his death, and the first song i heard on the radio after he was found was this song. even though it's been more than 20 years since that day, i still remember it very clearly and this song still conjures up the painful emotions of that day. he was a beautiful little kitten, and i learned an awful lot from him - including how to deal with grief.
