She left behind 2 small kids and my 4 sisters and I devastated.  Time has continued but I still feel a shadow of who I used to be.  Life doesn't feel as loving without her and despite knowing its a testament to how immense her love was, there are days that are still very hard.  I'd love to request \"I Shall be Released\" by The Band.   As latchkey kids growing up, 'Jack the Bear' was a movie we loved watching.   It's a story about a widowed father and his struggle to parent and survive with his 2 kids. 'I shall be released' was in the movie and it was our first introduction to The Band.  My sister loooooved the song and bought 'Music from Big Pink to play the song repeatedly.  Weirdly, the theme of the movie and her ultimately leaving by brother in law a widow with 2 small children instilled feeling like this was her destiny - leaving such a mark on all of us in her short 38 years alive. Thats likely me reaching for rationalizing losing her, but she certainly felt angelic in life and now in lasting memory.","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
