Today, I was looking around on www.youtube.com, at John Mayer’s music. I was watching his 2007 Crossroads performance, and then I saw, “John Mayer – Free Fallin”, in the related videos column. Knowing the Tom Petty version very well, I clicked on it not thinking it would be very good. I was blown away, this song was almost, to me, better than Tom Petty’s version. Tom Petty wrote the amazing lyrics, and then John Mayer brought them to life, in an astonishing performance. Even though the song is about he and his girlfriend having trouble, I think very well that it can relate to our family’s situation. Maybe once it is all over, with the change, we will be free fallin’, or right now, the change is making us free fall, (not in a bad way). I have to say, I watched this song, over and over, and over, probably 10 or 12 times, and it seemed to have a new meaning each time. I can’t say enough about this song, and how it made me feel.

I agree that it is a great performance. I don’t think he sounds as much like a bad boy as Tom P does, but his performance is moving. And it seems like your situation may indeed feel like a free fall. It will be over soon though and you’ll feel solid footing again. You are doing a great job supporting your Mom. See you at Xmas.

This might cheer you up, too. It had the nurses in stitches at the desk last weekend: nurses, stitches? Get it? Just a bad joke to brighten your day a bit. I’m good at bad jokes…

Love that song too. John Mayers voice is very smooth and soothing. Songs seem to always change my mood. I hope this song comforted you. You may feel like you’re free fallin sometimes, but B will always be there to catch you. Today when E came over, he played this song. I didn’t know why until I read your blog. He is such a sweet boy.
