I'm already emotional. I could feel the emotions as you sang that I almost shed a tear too.
You mentioned loosing a dear friend to kidney failure and that reminded me of my cousin that passed on about a year ago due to the same illness....she was diagnosed with a damaged kidney...Till today, we don't know how a 23 year old developed such illness, she wasn't even alive to experience her 23rd birthday, really sad.
You did great with this cover especially knowing how you were able to make the emotions almost palpable. Really nice. Well done.
May her soul rest in perfect peace,I think I remember seeing a post of it one time. So sorry to hear this new...may God continue to give you the strength to bear the loss like he did mine.
Amen, thank you š
